Literature Review: Illiberalism, Authoritarianism and Populism
D2.1 Deliverable for the AUTHLIB Project
The literature review discusses the existing definitions of illiberalism both as a regime type and as an ideology or a set of ideas. Subsequently, describes the key characteristics of authoritarianism, populism, and illiberalism, mapping them against each other. It explores the existing varieties of illiberalism and the dimensions on which they vary, and offers a discussion of the so-called ‘post-liberal’ authors and of the paradoxical phenomenon of illiberal liberalism. Finally, it identifies some dilemmas the review of the literature brought to the fore and some tasks awaiting the AUTHLIB project.
