dc.description.abstractENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study conducts a critical discourse analysis of drones and lethal use of force to probe modes of future wars and contested norms in the international system. The role played by the United States’ justificatory norm-contesting policy entrepreneurship of established norms with speech acts aimed at normalisation of drone use is analysed. Normalisation occurring through ‘drone war’ film genres in cinematography in popular culture is probed. Pushback against normalisation of drones by United Nations Special Rapporteurs and transnational global feminist organisations is assessed. The study concludes raising concerns about future wars, executive-legislative relations and the rise of the drone-based surveillance state that has geopolitical implications.en_ZA
