decisionism

Decisionism is a political theory that emphasizes the importance of decisive leadership, particularly in times of crisis. It suggests that the authority of a leader comes from their ability to make rapid and unilateral decisions, often prioritizing action over lengthy deliberation or democratic processes. This approach can be seen as a response to uncertainty and the complexities of modern governance. While it can enable quick responses to challenges, critics argue that it may undermine democratic values, as it concentrates power in the hands of a few and can lead to authoritarianism.
