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. Selçuk's work provides a rubric for a better understanding of--and potential defense against--the rise in polarizing populism across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Orçun Selçuk\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0268208077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780268208073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Notre Dame Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Orçun Selçuk","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45331967148287,"sku":"9780268208073","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3816cdac-dc71-4c77-b75d-6224e4c808ee.jpg?v=1713971375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-authoritarian-divide-orun-seluk-9780268208073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
