FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation studies the extent of polarization in Venezuela under Hugo Chávez (1999-2013), Ecuador under Rafael Correa (2007-2017), and Turkey under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan (2002-2015).

It also examines how leader polarization contributes to democratic backsliding. Empirically, the dissertation uses …

The researcher implemented a non-experimental ex post facto …
