Abstract

This paper aims to explore Machiavellianism, a philosophy that suggests any means however unscrupulous can justifiably be used in achieving political power, and heresthetics and the art of political manipulation, which the "benevolent despot" can implement for the continuation of power. Heresthetics means that a political leader or a political party implements strategies for gaining and staying in power by making use of various political manipulations. The benevolent despot's greed for power and political ambition lead him to apply various political manipulations. Lying, deception, praise to the nation, rhetoric, vote trading, vote buying, pork-barreling, gerrymandering and agenda control are the main political manipulation methods.
