Annotation
This dissertation will examine public debates and controversies concerning the rule of law, legality, justice and legitimacy. A chosen case of a particular controversy, for example regarding the Office of the Special Prosecutor or the proposed amendment to the Criminal Code, will be studied from the perspective of interpretive sociology, discourse analysis and symbolic interactionism. The aim is to describe the main frameworks and argumentative strategies which have been employed in competing explanations and political tactics.
