Political concept that Asian countries tend to be more authoritarian
For the 1957 book by Karl August Wittfogel, see Oriental Despotism.
Oriental despotism refers to the Western view of Asian societies as politically or morally more suspectible to despotic rule, and therefore different from the democratic West. This view is often pejorative.[1][2] The term is often associated with Karl August Wittfogel's 1957 book Oriental Despotism.[3]
