In the context of the global decline of democracy, The Authoritarian Divide analyzes the tactics that populist leaders in Turkey, Venezuela, and Ecuador have used to polarize their countries.

Political polarization is traditionally viewed as the result of competing left/right ideologies. In The Authoritarian Divide, Or�un Sel�uk 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.

Drawing on multiple qualitative and quantitative methodologies for support, as well as content from propaganda media such as public speeches, Muhtar Meetings, Al� Presidente, and Enlace Ciudadano, Sel�uk details and analyzes the tactics used by three well-known populist leaders to fuel affective leader polarization: Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, Hugo Ch�vez in Venezuela, and Rafael Correa in Ecuador. Sel�uk's work provides a rubric for a better understanding of-and potential defense against-the rise in polarizing populism across the globe.
