A strongman is a political leader who rules by force and runs an authoritarian regime. The term is often used interchangeably with "dictator", but differs from a "warlord". A strongman is not necessarily always a formal head of state or head of government; sometimes journalists use the term to describe a military or political figure who exercises far more influence over the government than a constitution allows. General Manuel Noriega, for example, was often dubbed the "Strongman of Panama" for the enormous amount of political power he exercised over Panama, despite the fact that he was not the formal president of the state. Similarly, not every discussion of "strong leadership"〔 For example: 〕 (or every promise to provide such〔 See for example: 〕) envisages rule by a strongman. ==Political figures referred to as "strongmen"== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strongman (politics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
