Orçun Selçuk on populist polarisation in Turkey and Latin America
Update: 2024-10-22
Description
Orçun Selçuk, Assistant Professor of Political Science at Luther College, on ”The Authoritarian Divide: Populism, Propaganda, and Polarization” (University of Notre Dame Press).
The book compares what Selçuk calls ”affective leader polarisation” in Turkey under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Venezuela under Hugo Chávez, and Ecuador under Rafael Correa. It shows that Turkey’s experience under the AKP can often be more usefully compared with examples in Latin America than cases of right-wing populism in Europe or Islamism in the Middle East.
