Development dictatorship

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The development dictatorship was in the aftermath of the " African Year " (1960) as the form of government that the from the beginning colonial rule could help redundant States to find a national unity (cf.. Decolonization , nation-building ).

While this theory soon appeared to be a less convincing justification for the South American and young African states, South Korea and Malaysia are still often rated positively at present.

Augusto Pinochet referred to this concept in Chile .

The Turkish state founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk , who reformed the young state and wanted to lead it to democracy, can also be described as a development dictator.
