Erozja jakości instytucji demokratycznych oraz spadek poszanowania dla wolności i praw obywatelskich stały się w ostatnich latach przedmiotem sporów i dyskusji. Jednakże oprócz erozji demokracji ma miejsce równoległe zjawisko polityczne, rzadziej diagnozowane, ale równie istotne i potencjalnie bardziej niebezpieczne. Jest to proces, który można nazwać powrotem dyktatur. Dotyka on głównie współczesne reżimy hybrydowe i autorytarne, i oznacza przejście od „łagodnych” form rządów autorytarnych do „twardych” dyktatur. Autokratyczni przywódcy, którzy dochodzą do władzy w wyniku demokratycznych wyborów, dążą do absolutnej koncentracji władzy wykonawczej i eliminacji opozycji politycznej. Stopniowo niszczą instytucje demokratyczne, takie jak uczciwe wybory, niezależne sądownictwo, wolne media i autonomiczne organizacje społeczeństwa obywatelskiego oraz uruchomiają cały arsenał represji politycznych łącznie z mordowaniem swoich przeciwników politycznych. Ten artykuł dokumentuje powrót dyktatur w wielu regionach świata i analizuje jego przyczyny i konsekwencje.
