Proper name should be "Guided democracy" (not "Guided Democracy"). --HanzoHattori (talk) 23:40, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're probably correct. I wonder if there was a particular reason to use two upper case words? Although, when mentioning a specific example, say "Guided Democracy" in Indonesia, then upper case is appropriate. --Merbabu (talk) 00:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve removed the following…

It is believed in Russia that this term (managed democracy) was introduced into common practice by the chief of Vladimir Putin's Presidential Administration Alexander Voloshin (Russian: Управляемая демократия). Note here that in Russian language the word managed slightly differs from the word guided (last one means something like forwarded) though nobody accents on their meaning differences.

..theoretically everything should be sourced from reliable sources, but this in particular should be. It should stay here til it’s source, preferably from an English text. Thanks !--Merbabu (talk) 00:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have checked Lippmann's Public Opinion (1922) and Edward Bernays' Crystallizing Public Opinion (1923) word by word as PDF - none of them contains the term guided or managed democracy. --Albanerkind (talk) 12:47, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My impression from this article is that both "managed democracy" and "guided democracy" are standard English-language translations of common terms for, at least, Russia under Putin; and Indonesia under Suharto and the first phase of Poland's Sanation regime, respectively, and possibly for other anocracies, which seem to be identical to hybrid regimes. To the extent that the terms themselves are quite notable for these two particular contexts, keeping this as a separate article seems justifiable.

However, the single source for Singapore only has media use of "managed" democracy and the role-playing game/cultural section has no sources. Generally having more sources would be good. Eva Plach's brief comment on other eastern European countries during the inter-war period suggest other cases where the term may also be considered standard.
