{"product_id":"political-rhetoric-von-advice-chimbarange","title":"Political Rhetoric","description":"\u003cp\u003eRhetoric has always been at the centre of  politicians'' political survival.  There are many  genres of rhetoric and political rhetoric is one of  them.  Political rhetoric is associated with the  practice of politics.  It is a persuasive form of  language which politicians employ to win support for  their policies, convince people to vote for them or  campaign against perceived or imagined threats to  their careers.  This book critically looks at the  various strategies and devices used by Robert  Gabriel Mugabe (President of Zimbabwe for the past  30 years) to speak against European Union, United  States of America  and Australia sanctions on  Zimbabwe.  The EU, USA and Australia have argued  that the sanctions are ''targeted'', and are not meant  to hurt ordinary Zimbabweans.  The individuals  targeted in the sanctions are accused of undermining  democracy in Zimbabwe so they say.  Mugabe disputes  this and has for the last decade used language to  campaign against the sanctions at most international  forums. The book can best be described as taking a  critical view  of the rhetoric used in order to illustrate the  commonly shared view that language is never neutral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783844318883\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMugabe on Zimbabwe sanctions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783844318883","offer_id":39470144225373,"sku":"9783844318883","price":59.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d85970a1-543b-4cd9-85dc-0b26d2dd75b7.jpg?v=1776231616","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/political-rhetoric-von-advice-chimbarange","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
