Guided Democracy is a political system where the government maintains control over the democratic process to ensure stability and unity. It often involves a dominant political party or leader who directs the political landscape, limiting opposition and influencing elections. This approach aims to balance democratic principles with the need for order and development. In practice, Guided Democracy can lead to restrictions on civil liberties and political freedoms. While it may promote economic growth and social cohesion, critics argue that it undermines true democracy by curtailing public participation and dissent. Examples of Guided Democracy can be seen in the regimes of leaders like Suharto in Indonesia.
