Isi artikel

A number of writers from the Left, particularly associated with Marxism Today, have suggested that there has been a shift to more right-wing policies and authoritarian and populist forms of government in advanced capitalist countries and that these can be seen as a response to the current world economic crisis . Fiona Atkins suggests that explanations of the shift towards more authoritarian government must take account of recent changes in economic structures and class relations . In particular she argues that it is necessary to recognise the implications of the increasing internationalisation of capital. By referring to third world examples, the author identifies a number of forms of authoritarian regime . The broader frame of reference indicates that a degree of eurocentrism has limited the understanding of authoritarianism in the current British debate.
