High-stakes ethnic politics
Ethnic politics in Kenya matured under colonial restrictions, intensifying after Independence during both the one- and the multi-party period. The result was weak non-programmatic political parties and institutions and an expansion of patronage politics. Once the presidency became competitive, polarization increased, with winning and losing viewed in ethnic terms. This culminated in elite-led ethnically targeted violence to win elections and to c…
The resilience of the past
The article discusses government and opposition in Kenya over the last 100 years. Major democratic changes have occurred, but legacies from the colonial period and Kenya's one-party state endure. Pushback efforts to perpetuate the status quo continue. Subverting formal legal changes, using violence, and polarizing ethnicity are among the means used to consolidate the past. The focus is on the interplay between stasis and change, using comparative…
Mau Mau's Children
In 1995, David Sandgren did a tracer study of the Gikuyu secondary school students he taught from 1963 to 1967, near Mount Kenya. This volume draws on interviews Sandgren did with 75 of his 90 students, who became part of Kenya's post-independence elite. It discusses these students' experiences under colonialism and Mau Mau, their challenges as students from modest farming backgrounds, their bountiful career opportunities and choices, their perso…
Kenya and the International Criminal Court (ICC)
Kenya's 2013 election was supremely important, but for a reason not normally highlighted or discussed. Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto's run for president and deputy president as International Criminal Court (ICC) indictees was a key strategy to deflect the court and to insulate themselves from its power once they won the election. The paper maintains that the strategy entailed a set of delaying tactics and other pressures to ensure that the tria…
Dying to win
This paper examines the lessons learned from Kenya's 2007 post election violence and what has happened since then. It notes that the root causes of the violence still persist, have not been addressed, and easily could be reignited. Faced with a situation where institutions and the rule of law have been weakened deliberately and where diffused violence is widespread, both Kenya's transition to democracy and the fate of the nation remain vulnerable…

Dependence on the mineral sector is central to economic reforms in Africa.These reforms have the objective of increasing economic growth and reducing poverty.Mineral endowed countries such as Ghana have been successful in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) to the mineral sector through liberalisation of mining codes, which provide generous concessions to foreign multinational mining companies.UNCTAD (2005) indicates that a large proportio…
The Political Economy of Kenya's Crisis
Using political economy analysis, this paper discusses three precipitating factors that were ignited by Kenya's 2007 election, which was too close to call beforehand and highly contested afterwards. These factors were: the gradual loss of the state's monopoly of legitimate force and the consequent diffusion of violence; the deliberate weakening of institutions outside the executive in favour of personalized presidential power, raising questions a…

African Political Leadership
In African politics, Kenya's Jomo Kenyatta, Tanzania's Julius Nyere, and Ghana's Kwame Nkrumah were known for their early radical and socialistic political stance. This text analyzes their nationalistic-cum-Pan Africanist and overall political contributions to African history
Civil Society and Democracy in Africa
Markets, Civil Society and Democracy in Kenya
The studies in this volume provide extended empirical analysis of some of the issues at the heart of current social and political changes and divisions: the outcome on the ground of the long fought-over cereals reforms, the changing nature of the local development arena in the multi-party era, and the polarised relation of the churches to political liberalisation
The Social Origins of Violence in Uganda 1964-1985
Using a convincing causal model of violence, Kasozi attributes the major causes of violence in Uganda to social inequality, the failure to develop legitimate conflict resolution mechanisms, and factors that have influenced the domain and patterns of conflict in that society (such as lack of a common language, religious sectarianism, vigilante justice, and gender inequality). He concludes the study by drawing comparisons with neighbouring countrie…

Littleexists to document the widespread repression of opposition in Africa since independence. Current studies of the rise of capitalism and the post-colonial state largely ignore institutionalised authoritarianism, which characterises the political side of this process. This article discusses the restraints placed on opposition in Kenya up to 1969. Its salience continues with the creation of ade jureone-party state since the abortive coup of 198…

The Historical Origins of Tanzania's Ruling Class
Les conditions historiques de l'émergence de la classe dominante en Tanzanie sont examinées. La “bourgeoisie bureaucratique”, par oposition à une classe capitaliste productive au Kenya, a retardé le développement du capitalisme tanzanien. Dans la première partie, les antécédants (avant 1967) de la classe actuellement au pouvoir en Tanzanie sont analysés. Dans la deuxième partie, le mouvement d'indépendance et la spécificité de classe de l'Etat po…
