  1. The political scientist Juan Linz, in an influential 1964 work, An Authoritarian Regime: Spain, defined authoritarianism as possessing four qualities: 1. Limited political pluralism, which is achieved with constraints on the legislature, political parties and interest groups. 2. Political legitimacy based on appeals to emotion and identification of the regime as a necessary evil to combat "easily recognizable societal problems, such as underdevelopment or insurgency." 3. Minimal political mobilization, and suppression of anti-regime activities. 4. Ill-defined executive powers, often vague and shifting, used to extend the power of the executive.
