Beskrivning

The Modern Tyrant argues that modern authoritarian leaders resemble classical tyrants but are distinctive in three ways: their ambitions for wealth and glory are shaped by modernity (especially nationalism, religion and ideology); their techniques are novel, combining authoritarian and democratic forms, and finally, they are much more powerful, able to exploit modern propaganda techniques and technology to enhance their control and dominance.

Recensioner i media

‘Haig Patapan’s book, The Modern Tyrant, is one of the most significant recent contributions to the leadership literature. It is a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in leadership, especially, though not exclusively, in politics. Patapan’s book is deeply rooted in the classics, but it is, alas, completely contemporary in its application. Buy it. Keep it.’
