Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an authoritarian government, power is concentrated in the hands of a small group or an individual leader who makes decisions without input from other branches of government, the public, or the media. Therefore, foreign policy is likely to be centered in a narrow segment of the government, such as the executive branch, and decisions are made by the leader or a small group of elites without much input or scrutiny from other sources. In a democratic government, foreign policy is likely to be more open to input from legislators, the media, and public opinion.
