This dissertation will focus on how agricultural policies can be a form of structural violence and how part of this violence manifests itself in the form of Diabetes Mellitus, which is the name for a group of non-communicable diseases. Furthermore, this dissertation will also shortly discuss the interrelatedness of structural and cultural violence and draw from the theories of Johan Galtung. The set-up of the dissertation will be the following; after a short introduction, diabetes will be defined, then part of the theory of Galtung will be explained. After that, what is arguably the origin of the structural violence will be discussed. Once that is clear, I will analyse through case studies how this violence is being spread to other countries. [-]
