The next section begins to develop a clergy-centered explanation of Brazil’s
culture wars. The Brazilian case is not unique, however; this approach can illuminate other developing country contexts. For instance, scholars debate the
causes of anti-homosexuality movements in sub-Saharan Africa. One
prominent example is Uganda’s 2009 and 2012 bills that sought to create
a “gay death penalty.” These bills had very high domestic approval, and
ultimately were defeated by means of international human rights intervention.
A party-centered approach offers little purchase in Uganda, where the party
system is relatively new and ethnically based.

expressão

Acredito que tenha o sentido do tamanho da força de expressão do "party-centered approach" em Uganda, o quanto de força ele é capaz de exercer (já que "purchase" se comporta como substantivo nesse contexto).
