Linz¡¯s Methodology in Research on Non-Democracies. The modern trend in non-democracy research is to focus on the area between democracy and authoritarianism, the hybrid regimes etc. The ¡°classic¡± methodology based on distinguishing authoritarian and totalitarian regimes is no longer so important. In this study I suggest, however, that the methodology of conducting research into non-democracy presented by Juan J. Linz, probably the most important ¡°classic¡± author in the field, should not yet be regarded as outdated. His concept of an authoritarian regime¡¯s mentality offers several opportunities for further research and I consider Linz¡¯s methodology capable of absorbing contemporary trends (i.e. the hybrid regimes) as well.. %K Authoritarian regime %K hybrid regimes %K ideology %K Juan Linz %K mentality %U http://www.cepsr.com/clanek.php?ID=528
