Abstract: This paper analyses China‟s development engagement with Uganda focusing on China‟s Infrastructure assistance in transport and energy sectors presenting six cases of China‟s development assistance to Ugandain the above sectors.The paper further highlights common features of China‟s development assistance, its contribution towardsUganda‟s economic growth and why authorities in Uganda prefer China‟s assistance. The author concludes that, by and large, China is playing a pivotal role towards improving Uganda‟s infrastructure sector – the engine of social - economic growth. However, the author points at three key issues Ugandan policy makers must address if China‟s development assistance is to leave sustainable positive impact. Firstly, Uganda must devise other ways of funding her infrastructure than entirely relying on China‟s concessional loans to avoid high debt challenge, Secondary, there is need to address lack transparency in China‟s development assistance to Uganda, and thirdly, both Uganda and China must give attention to environment.

Key Words: Economic Growth, Development assistance, Infrastructure, China-Uganda Relations.

Abstract: The focus of this paper is in postmodern and dystopian fiction in relation to Margret Atwood‟s The Handmaid‟s Tale. It sets out to examine the representations and roles women in the novel. It is important to analyze patriarchal discourses that position women as the inferiors in the power relations. This study is especially significant because it is, to the best of my knowledge, the first to adopt Foucauldianfeminist reading of the novel. The research approach adopted in this paper includes feminist analysis ofpower, discourse and female subjects in The Handmaid‟s Tale. It draws on Foucault‟s concepts of discourse, power, surveillance, and the panopticon.However, the paper adopts a feminist perspective in applying these concepts. The paper concludes that subjecting women in the novel is a systematic process, which produces them as always the inferiors

Data obtained via primary and secondary sources were employed to conduct a critical study with an analytical and narrative historical methodology.
