North Eastern
This chapter examines the impact of devolution on North Eastern Kenya through the lens of the “center/periphery” divide. First of all, it will briefly highlight the political and economic context of the region prior to devolution in 2010. It will then move on to an analysis of how the region has been thrust into the center of national politics and development discourse in the devolution era. More specifically, I argue that the new focus on county…

Camels and Climate Resilience
In the drylands of Africa, pastoralists have been facing new challenges, including those related to environmental shocks and stresses. In northern Kenya, under conditions of reduced rainfall and more frequent droughts, one response has been for pastoralists to focus increasingly on camel herding. Camels have started to be kept at higher altitudes and by people who rarely kept camels before. The development has been understood as a climate change …
The road to Kenya
A fundamental change is taking place in the physical, economic and political landscape of Kenya. The northern territory, previously excluded from national development, has in recent years been thrust into the centre of national development planning. The Kenya Vision 2030 blueprint has been a key force in these changes, as it identifies certain flagship development projects that are thought to have the power to re-make the Kenyan nation. This pape…
Navigating ethnicity and electoral politics in northern Kenya
In the 2013 elections, northern Kenya – previously seen as peripheral to national politics – took on great significance as a potential 'swing' region, and became the focus of much campaigning and strategizing by presidential and other candidates. It was also seen as a region especially at risk of violence given its history of ethnic politics and the new context of the devolved county system. This paper explores how the north's ethnic dynamics pla…
Nairobi in the making. Landscapes of time and urban belonging
In 2006, Kenya promulgated a national long-term development strategy known as Vision 2030. Vision 2030’s stated ambition is to make Kenya a “globally competitive and prosperous nation” by the year
