Abstract
This chapter explores the relationship between military regimes and tendencies toward illiberalism by addressing the following questions. Are there any intrinsic connections between military regimes and illiberalism? How do the personal characteristics of military rulers and elites affect the protection of liberal values? What are the effects of military regimes’ characteristics on liberalism? Are military dictatorships more vulnerable to illiberalism than other types of dictatorships? It also empirically explores the relationship between military regimes and illiberalism. Empirical analysis reveals that liberal values are less likely to be protected under military dictatorships when compared with democracies. However, there is little evidence to suggest that military dictatorships are more associated with illiberalism than other types of dictatorships, such as dominant party dictatorships and personalist dictatorships.
