Assemblages of terror and the policing of settlement boundaries
The 2010 Constitution of Kenya established devolution to address historical marginalization and promote equitable development. However, in the pastoral rangelands of northern Kenya, this reform has unintentionally functioned as a violent territorializing machine, reassembling governance into exclusionary ethnic orders. This paper uses assemblage theory to examine how devolution has transformed the logic of pastoral conflict from reciprocal raidin…
Pastoral conflict on the greener grass? Exploring the climate-conflict nexus in the Karamoja Cluster
The Karamoja Cluster, a cross-border region between Kenya, South Sudan, Uganda, and Ethiopia, where pastoralism has long been the main livelihood, was extraordinarily affected by severe droughts between 2018 and 2023. During this time, pastoral conflict in the region increased to unprecedented levels. Being highly dependent on the environment, pastoralists are expected to be especially vulnerable to climate change in the near future. In our work …
Under construction – towards critical perspectives on infrastructuring and infrastructured labour in Africa
Rails through rangelands
Left in the Dust
The southern rangelands of Kenya are home to pastoralist Maasai but are have increasingly become the site of development projects, the latest being the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) and the associated Inland Container Depot. The projects have had a variety of effects through land claims, compensation, environmental and property damages, employment in construction and a local investment boom. Through the lens of ‘infrastructural violence’, which is…
(Re-)moving earth, building Kenya – The politics of sand extraction in Kedong
This article delves into the critical domain of sand mining and trade in the context of rapid urbanization and massive infrastructure development in Kenya. It joins the growing body of work in geography and political ecology that interrogates the social and political intricacies that govern the removal and forwarding of this ‘mundane’ mineral. More specifically, this article seeks to reappraise the concept of extractivism a term often applied in …
The political ecology of geothermal development
This contribution explores the potential of large-scale geothermal projects to benefit local communities, a topic about which little is known. We address this gap in the scholarly literature by focusing on Iceland and Kenya, two countries that have pioneered geothermal power generation infrastructure for many decades. While many large-scale renewable energy schemes have ended up as green sacrifice zones, we inquire into whether there are also pos…
Water Governance, Institutions and Conflicts in the Maasai Rangelands
Water scarcity in Narok county, Kenya may be attributed to demographic pressures, land-use changes, environmental degradation and the effects of climate change. This article combines methodologies from history and political science to investigate how local communities cope with water scarcity. In so doing, we consider how institutions, both indigenous and modern, mitigate conflict over access to and control of water sources. Cases are presented f…
Future visions, present conflicts
This work analyses the politics of anticipation and ensuing fears, tensions and conflicts in relation to Kenya’s Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport (LAPSSET) Corridor which is to pass through several previously marginalized counties in the north of the country. Isiolo county, in the centre of Kenya is home to several different ethnic groups of whom some are perceived to be better informed about LAPSSET than others, or have certain advantage…
