Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality - Cutting the Ties to the Global North?

摘要

This project’s focus is upon the discourse of Uganda’s president, Yoweri Museveni, in regards to the anti-homosexuality law he signed in February 2014. By use of discourse analysis on two of Museveni’s speeches, one prior and one post to the signing of the bill, a deeper insight will be made regarding the intentions of the president. A contextualizing chapter of Uganda’s history and the inclusion of post-development theory and aid theory will assist in the analysis, and indicate whether the discourse is a symbol of emancipation from the structural dominance of the Global North. Finally, a discussion will touch upon a possible change in post-colonial relations and the future of foreign aid in the international system.
