Art can provide a way for youth to make their own decisions and act upon them, even when external factors hamper this ability. Two young male Ugandan artists were interviewed. They talk about their lives and their relation to art and Ugandan politics. Building on a theoretical framework that recognises the importance of art as a political tool, these interviews were analysed. This research found that art in Uganda is used by youth to perform political agency, but in the lives of the interviewees, also to perform agency over their lives in general.Show less

One aspect of their long-lasting relationship is the accession of Turkey into the EU, however despite relations that go way back, the accession talks have been very slow and progress very little. This brings out the question of why? Looking at existing scholarly work it is possible to find a large variety of answers, which will be discussed further in the Literature Review below. However what were the real reasons that the EU gave? In order to answer this question as objectively as possible, one must look at the Progress Reports which are published annually by the European Commission as they will give a concrete answer to this question.Show less
