Refers to a government that concentrates power in a single authority and restricts political freedoms.

That country is governed by an authoritarian government.

独どく裁さい政せい権けん
独裁政権 (dictatorship) implies rule by a single person or small group, often with more extreme suppression, while 権威主義政府 is a broader term for any government that demands strict obedience to authority.
全ぜん体たい主しゅ義ぎ
全体主義 (totalitarianism) is a more extreme ideology seeking total control over society, whereas 権威主義 focuses on obedience to authority without necessarily controlling all aspects of life.

Compound of 権威 (authority), 主義 (principle, -ism), and 政府 (government). The term is a direct translation of the English 'authoritarian government'.
