In \u003cem\u003eThe Authoritarian Divide\u003c\/em\u003e, Orçun Selçuk argues that, regardless of ideology, polarization is driven by dominant populist leaders who deliberately divide constituents by cultivating a dichotomy of inclusion and exclusion. This practice, known as affective leader polarization, stymies compromise and undermines the democratic process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on multiple qualitative and quantitative methodologies for support, as well as content from propaganda media such as public speeches, Muhtar Meetings, \u003cem\u003eAló Presidente\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEnlace Ciudadano\u003c\/em\u003e, Selçuk details and analyzes the tactics used by three well-known populist leaders to fuel affective leader polarization: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador.
