The Contemporary Value of Hybrid Regime

Abstract

A hybrid regime is a classical system of government in ancient times, and its spirits have been handed down to the present day, resulting in the separation of powers and its widespread use. Today, however, there is very little discussion of the hybrid regime. In some countries where democracy is in transition, or where democracy is in trouble, it is worth considering a hybrid regime. This article analyses the positive impact of hybrid regimes on the socioeconomics of Singapore and Latin America at different points in their history and points out the contemporary value. The value of a hybrid regime lies precisely in its spirit of balance. Whenever a system of government goes to extremes - whether democratic or authoritarian - it gives rise to chaos and social tensions. Reconciliation is therefore necessary. The importance and practical significance of the hybrid system of government as a system of government of reconciliation cannot be overstated.
