Description

This scholarly examination by Dmitry Shlapentokh challenges conventional understanding of totalitarian rule by arguing that brutal state control often emerged not from ideology alone, but from genuine fears of social disorder threatening both rulers and society. Published by Routledge through Transaction Publishers, the volume explores how semi-totalitarian regimes developed roots in the anxiety of chaos rather than pure ideological doctrine. By analysing punishment systems and mechanisms of control across absolutist governments, Shlapentokh demonstrates that whilst ideology has shaped many totalitarian states, it has not always been the primary driver. The book offers historians, political scientists, and students of governance a nuanced perspective on how fear of disorder has functioned as a foundational force in establishing and maintaining authoritarian control structures throughout history.
