Question

Authoritarian persistence can be demonstrated by?

1) The persistence of a single authoritarian regime
2) The substitution of one authoritarian regime for another
3) Both a and b
4) Neither a nor b

Answer 1

Authoritarian persistence can be demonstrated through the persistence of a single regime or the substitution of one regime for another.

Step-by-step explanation:

Authoritarian persistence can be demonstrated by both a) the persistence of a single authoritarian regime and b) the substitution of one authoritarian regime for another.

For example, in mid-20th-century Portugal, António Salazar ruled as the authoritarian prime minister from 1932 to 1968, creating a state with limited economic and personal freedoms. Similarly, in recent years, Egypt experienced a transition from one authoritarian leader, Hosni Mubarak, to another, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who seized power amid protests.
