Abstract
The article seeks to analyze the possibility of reconciling the Weberian concept of charismaticauthority with contemporary democracies and with leaders who do not break with institutionalnorms. From Weber’s exegetical analysis, we arrive at a definition of charismatic authoritythat is based primarily on the affective relationship of the followers with the leader becauseof his extraordinary character. Contesting other interpretations, we argue that this definition iscompatible with democratic leaders without losing the efficiency of its application to subversivecases. Finally, in addition to Weber, we present some possible applications of the concept basedon three ideal-typical elements: intensity, diffusion and direction of the charism. This model caninclude authoritarian and anti-authoritarian charisms and explain the behavior of followers inmeasures that involve their leaders.
期刊介绍:
Politics & Society is a peer-reviewed journal. All submitted papers are read by a rotating editorial board member. If a paper is deemed potentially publishable, it is sent to another board member, who, if agreeing that it is potentially publishable, sends it to a third board member. If and only if all three agree, the paper is sent to the entire editorial board for consideration at board meetings. The editorial board meets three times a year, and the board members who are present (usually between 9 and 14) make decisions through a deliberative process that also considers written reports from absent members. Unlike many journals which rely on 1–3 individual blind referee reports and a single editor with final say, the peers who decide whether to accept submitted work are thus the full editorial board of the journal, comprised of scholars from various disciplines, who discuss papers openly, with author names known, at meetings. Editors are required to disclose potential conflicts of interest when evaluating manuscripts and to recuse themselves from voting if such a potential exists.
