To what extent did economic factors contribute to the emergence of two authoritarian states, each from a different region?

Candidates must consider the merits or otherwise of the concept that economic factors contributed to the emergence of authoritarian states. While the focus of the response must be within the timeframe of this topic, the two authoritarian states chosen need not be contemporaneous with each other. However, they must be chosen from different regions. Although candidates must discuss the extent to which economic factors contributed to the emergence of the chosen states, it is probable that there will also be reference to the emergence of the relevant authoritarian leaders. However, focus will be maintained on the emergence of the authoritarian state and how this was achieved. Each authoritarian state may be considered separately or a thematic approach adopted to compare the relative contribution of economic and other factors, such as ideology, for example, on their emergence.
