    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Author : Sanna Sandehl; [2024]
    Keywords : Communal division; polarising and reconciliation rhetoric; ethnic religious and tribal affiliations; election campaign rallies;

    Abstract : How do some political elites, in unstable democracies with communal divisions, use ethnic, religious, and tribal affiliations for a rhetoric of polarisation and/or reconciliation when running for office? This thesis applies a framing analysis to explore how political elites employ these affiliations in speech acts, mainly political rallies, to construct narratives of polarisation and reconciliation during election campaigns. The theoretical framework is constructed by previous research on “Big Men” politics and the rhetoric used by ex-combatants turned politicians within a context embossed with electoral violence and division.
