“…This is especially true for ingroup prototypicality and identity entrepreneurship . For instance, effective populist leadership is generally defined as the ability to create a sense of “we‐ness” among targeted citizens, bond them as a homogeneous group by addressing their moral superiority, and ensure their identification with the leader (Aslanidis, 2018; Erçetin, 2020; Wodak & Krzyanowski, 2017), consistent with the processes of identity prototypicality and entrepreneurship . Moreover, recent research shows that voters of the populist leaders are convinced that their leaders are not part of the current political establishment which is seen as the reason for people's deprivation (Silva, 2019).…”

“…Moreover, blaming discourse may serve as a tool for creating intergroup threats among ingroup members (Hameelers et al., 2017; Hameelers & Schmuck, 2017; Matthes & Schmuck, 2017; Reinemann et al., 2017). Since “populist framing begins by making context‐based inter‐group distinctions” (Erçetin, 2020), promoting fear‐based scenarios through perceived intergroup threat and offering their leadership as hope is the core mechanism of populist leadership.…”

“…In recent years, there has been a significant number of studies addressing populism from a social identity perspective (e.g., Bos et al, 2020;Hameelers et al, 2019;Jetten, 2019;Jetten et al, 2017;Jetten & Mols, 2021;Mols & Jetten, 2016, 2020Obradovic et al, 2020). For instance, Hameelers and de Vreese (2020) sought ways to combine the basic propositions about populism with the premises of social identity theory.…”

In recent years, the questions of what populism is and how populist leaders mobilize their followers have been the subject of extensive debate. While the social psychology literature holds unique theoretical tools that can be used to explain leader-follower dynamics, these have not yet been applied to understand populism and populist leadership. In this paper, we aim to discuss populism as a social-psychological concept and provide a comprehensive approach to examine the interactions between populist leaders and followers by using the identity leadership model (seePsychology of Leadership, Haslam et al., 2020). Accordingly, we propose an integrative model in which we suggest that populism should be treated as a social-psychological concept based on (i) strong ingroup identification; (ii) interactive leadership processes that open spaces to followers for enacting their ingroup identity that end up with mobilization against vertical (e.g., elites) and horizontal (e.g., minorities, refugees, opponents) outgroups; (iii) leader's ingroup prototypicality and identity entrepreneurship that is boosted by using shared grievances, narratives of collective victimhood, and the destabilization of mainstream opponent leaders. Furthermore, by discussing real-world examples and recent studies, we aim to show how the content of what it means to be 'us' and what is seen as moral to 'us' can be shaped by populist leaders for mobilization.

This study explores the changing discourse of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) in Turkey as it confronts a populist authoritarian government. By analyzing and contrasting discourses used in election campaigns and protests and focus group discussions it investigates opposition’s role in fueling or challenging the polarizing populist narrative of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). This paper argues that autocratization is a dynamic process in which opposition parties play an active role, contributing to and opposing autocratization simultaneously, rather than being mere victims of the process. It claims that the CHP’s electoral and discursive strategy has shifted gradually under Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu’s leadership since 2010. Unlike the previous exclusionary discourse that legitimized the AKP’s polarizing, populist narrative, the party has adopted an inclusive discourse that has contributed to its victory in the 2019 local elections.
