Abstract:

Where can a given political regime be placed at a given moment in the continuum between the ideal type of totalitarianism and authoritarianism? A precise response to the question is possible after we determine the subtypes in the intensity of the various features of the relevance criteria identifying totalitarian regimes: the party and state apparatus its ability to rule effectively, controlled mobilisation of social masses and political gnosis. Depending on the intensity of these features we can distinguish various phases of totalitarianism situated over a continuum between its ideal type and authoritarianism.
