Free Download Dhurba Rizal, "The Royal Semi-Authoritarian Democracy of Bhutan"
English | ISBN: 1498507476 | 2015 | 436 pages | EPUB | 645 KB
The book puts into plain words a changing dimension of politics in a traditional regime and offers an insight into the emerging transition to royal, semi-authoritarian democracy in Bhutan. Bhutan represents a political system which coalesces the rhetorical acquiescence of democracy with illiberal authoritarian attributes under the former royalist shadow. Royal democracy is a myth and only paints the frontage of democracy. The smokescreen of this kind of authoritarian regime is not yet democracy but is instead a new form of semi-authoritarian rule.
