Comparative Economic & Political Systems Chapter 18 Section 2

Comparative Political Systems: Democratic Measures of a democracy: Political Participation by Citizens: Participation comes from individuals and groups apart from the government Freedom of Communication & Speech: If the government owns all the news outlets, democracy is limited Recruitment of Political Leaders: Leaders don’t all come from the same families, schools/colleges or the same part of the country Affect of Citizen Participation: Citizens have a high degree of political knowledge & participation (influence actually impacts the government)

Comparative Political Systems: Democratic Contd. Rule of Law, not Individuals: Same laws govern everyone equally Competitive Popular Elections: Elections are fair and give people a real choice between candidates

Comparative Political Systems: Authoritarian Measure of authoritarianism: Citizens as Subjects: Citizens have little influence on the policies made by government, act only as subjects (obey) Restrictions on Communications & Speech: Open criticism of the system is prohibited, news outlets are censored Narrow Recruitment of Political Leaders: Leaders are narrowly selected in a way that eliminates most citizens from consideration

Comparative Political Systems: Authoritarian Contd. Rule of Individuals, not Law: Authoritarian rulers make their own rules and decisions about policies, these decisions not bound by law No Competitive Elections: May have no election process at all (if they do, citizens don’t have a real choice of candidates)
