In \u003cem\u003eThe Authoritarian Divide\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\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\u003eAl� Presidente\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eEnlace Ciudadano\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.
