Podstawowym celem artykułu jest ukazanie specyfiki reżimów autorytarnych działających w globalnej sieci zawiłych i wielowymiarowych stosunków międzynarodowych. Autor artykułu stawia pytanie: w jakim stopniu dynamicznie zmieniający się paradygmat ideologii autorytaryzmu jest odpowiedzialny za występowanie różnego rodzaju napięć, rywalizacji i antagonizmów wywoływanych przez reżimy autorytarne, których skutki i konsekwencje dotykają nie tylko narodowych i regionalnych uwarunkowań politycznych, ale także wywołują poważne reperkusje międzynarodowe? Zastosowana metoda badawcza pozwala wyeksponować złożoną specyfikę reżimów autorytarnych w kontekście wielowymiarowej dynamiki współczesnych przemian geopolitycznych. Ma to kluczowe znaczenie w przypadku, gdy wiele współczesnych trendów ideologicznych często bagatelizuje barbarzyński charakter wielu systemów autorytarnych, a nawet traktuje „model autorytarny” – zwłaszcza w wydaniu autokracji socjalistycznych – jako „specyficzne zjawisko historyczne”, próbujące rozwiązać wiele złożonych i wielorakich kwestii politycznych i gospodarczych.

The article analyzes the specificity and distinctiveness of authoritarian regimes operating in a global network of complex and multidimensional international relations. The author of the article asks the question: to what extent the dynamically changing paradigm of authoritarian ideology is responsible for the occurrence of various types of tensions, rivalries, and antagonisms caused by authoritarian regimes, the effects and consequences of which affect not only national and regional political conditions but also cause severe international repercussions? The applied research method allows exposing the complex particularity of authoritarian regimes in the context of the multidimensional dynamics of recent geopolitical changes. It is crucial when a number of modern ideological trends often downplay the brutal nature of many authoritarian systems and even treat the “authoritarian model” – especially in the form of socialist autocracies – as a “specific historical phenomenon” trying to resolve many complex and multiple political and economic issues.
