A hybrid regime refers to a political system that displays characteristics of both democratic and authoritarian regimes. It combines elements of democracy, such as elections, with autocratic features like limited civil liberties and restricted political competition.
Authoritarian Regime: A form of government characterized by absolute power held by a single leader or small group without any meaningful checks or balances.
Democratic Regime: A system of government where power is vested in the people, who exercise it directly or through elected representatives.
