The regime of authoritarian neoliberalism is underway. In contemporary political
economy of governance, this regime has been construed as a crisis response of the
capitalist class to manage the conflict-ridden consequences of economic globalization; and, as an ideological project of a section of the ruling elites to justify the
embedding of market-oriented development processes in a politically repressive
government institution. To contribute to recent scholarship attempts at defining the
character and tendencies of this emergent regime, the article traces one of its key
ideological antecedents from Carl Schmitt’s earlier formulation for a “strong state,
free economy”. It then presents a survey of how this concept articulating the compatibility of authoritarianism and capitalism has manifested in related theories and
actual policies since the long twentieth century – notably in: German ordoliberalism, Thatcherism and Reaganomics, the Kirkpatrick Doctrine and Political Development Theory, the Asian Values discourse, and the Effective State and Good
Governance agendas. The governing authority in this regime can be called an
authoritarian-neoliberal state.
