The discourse in these two ”speech acts” was analyzed using four of Carol Lee Bacchi's questions from the WPR method. The statements in the speeches were then interpreted and explained by using Malgorzata Jakimóws theory ”Desecuritisation as a Soft Power Strategy”. Key findings in the analysis shows that the language used by the Montenegrian Prime Ministers was desecuritised. This suggests that Montenegro sees the country's economic cooperation with China as a political and economic opportunity rather than a threat. (Less)
