1. Agents of Peace or Tension: Analysing Political Elites’ Electoral Rhetoric : A Qualitative Analysis of Campaign Rhetoric in the 2023 Nigerian Presidential Election
Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : 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.
