NATIONAL IDEOLOGIESNATIONAL IDEOLOGIES
• Ideology: A system of beliefs/ideas that involve the basic ideas, goals, and characteristics of a nation state.
![Page 3: THOSE DREADED ISMS DEMOCRACYAUTHORITARIANISMTOTALITARIANISM.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bff41a28abf838cbd3d1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• These give insight into a nation’s values, its “personality”, and the relationship between the ruler(s) and the ruled.
• If one of the following labels--Democracy, Authoritarianism, and Totalitarianism--is applied correctly to a nation state, it can generally provide some clear insights into the nature of that state and enable one to reasonably predict its behavior in a given situation.

Why a nation state?
• Mankind’s instinct to organize, to seek stability, order, and security so he can pursue “the good life” without interference from others.
• And, to have government take on those things he can’t do alone.

Remembering the spectrum…
• If the prevailing perception of a nation’s founders is that man is inherently “good”, then the government will be more democratic.
• If the perception is that man is inherently “bad”, then the government will be less democratic.
