Hybrid Regime: A hybrid regime is a political system that combines elements of both democracy and authoritarianism. It may have some democratic features but lacks full consolidation.
Illiberal Democracy: An illiberal democracy is characterized by regular elections but lacks key liberal principles such as protection of individual rights or checks on executive power.
Authoritarian Regime: In contrast to consolidated democracies, authoritarian regimes are ruled by leaders who hold significant power without being accountable to citizens through free elections or independent institutions.
