Civic-Military Dictatorship
A Civic-Military Dictatorship is a form of government where military leaders collaborate with civilian political groups to maintain control over a country. In this system, the military often plays a dominant role in governance, while civilian leaders may provide a facade of legitimacy. This partnership can arise during times of political instability or crisis, where both parties believe they can benefit from shared power.
In such regimes, civil liberties are typically restricted, and dissent is often suppressed. The military's influence can lead to a focus on security and order, sometimes at the expense of democratic processes. Examples of this type of dictatorship can be seen in various countries throughout history, where military coups have resulted in the establishment of authoritarian rule.
