A l'origine, la dictature est une institution de la République romaine. Le dictateur reçoit la mission de rétablir l'ordre républicain dans un temps limité à six mois. La dictature "souveraine", spécifiquement moderne, est quant à elle illimitée et vise à créer un nouvel ordre. L'ouvrage de Schmitt n'est pas seulement une remarquable analyse historique des usages de cette institution destinée à faire face à l'état d'exception. Si l'expérience ultérieure du XXe siècle a disqualifié la notion de dictature, l'interrogation sur les situations où l'Etat de droit est confronté à ses limites n'a rien perdu de son actualité : les mesures "antiterroristes" aussi bien que les difficiles "transitions" consécutives au renversement d'autocraties militaires en attestent aujourd'hui.

This volume shines a light on how autocracy really works by providing basic facts about how post-World War II dictatorships achieve, retain, and loose power. The authors present an evidence-based portrait of key features of the authoritarian landscape with newly collected data on about 200 dictatorial regimes. They examine the central political processes that shape the policy choices of dictatorships and how they compel reaction from policy makers in the rest of the world. Importantly, this book explains how some dictators concentrate great power in their own hands at the expense of other members of the dictatorial elite. Dictators who can monopolize decision-making in their countries cause much of the erratic, warlike behavior that disturbs the rest of the world. By providing a picture of the central processes common to dictatorships, this book puts the experience of specific countries in perspective, leading to an informed understanding of events and the likely outcome of foreign responses to autocracies.
