Intersecting (im)mobilities in the context of drought, hunger and conflict – Reflections inspired by research in Kenya
Between late 2020 and early 2023, people in the Horn of Africa experienced the worst drought in more than 40 years, of which the world hardly took notice. By the end of 2022, almost 57 million people across eight countries faced a severe food crisis.1 While Kenya was not the country worst affected in terms of the number of people impacted—the highest level of food insecurity was recorded in Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia—the situation t…
Territorialising Conservation: Community-based Approaches in Kenya and Namibia
Community-based Conservation seeks to strike a balance between nature conservation and economic growth by establishing spatial and institutional settings that maintain and even regain biodiversity while simultaneously allowing for sustainable land use. The implementation of community-based conservation blueprints on communal, often agronomically marginal lands, is in many southern and eastern African countries encouraged by the national governmen…
Frontier NGOs: Conservancies, control, and violence in northern Kenya
During the last decades, the boundaries between humanitarian aid and development on the one side and security and physical force on the other side became increasingly permeable. Several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) operating in the field of humanitarian aid and development established their own security measures and structures of force in order to fulfil their mandates. In this article, we deal with the particular question of why and how…
Frontiers' violence: The interplay of state of exception, frontier habitus, and organized violence
As global capitalism is expanding to the most remote areas of the world, the notion of “frontier”, where competing social orders are contesting each other, is gaining traction in academic analyses. Contemporary frontiers are associated with resource exploitation in marginalized spaces and processes of socioecological transformation, which are characterized as particularly violent. This article offers a conceptual contribution to the frontier deba…
Future visions, present conflicts: The ethnicized politics of anticipation surrounding an infrastructure corridor in northern Kenya
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…
Débrouillardise: Certifying 'conflict-free' minerals in a context of regulatory pluralism in South Kivu, DR Congo
This article explores the relationship between transnational governance initiatives for 'conflict-free' certification in the eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and the regulatory pluralism one finds on the ground. Efforts in certifying artisanal gold mining are scrutinised by analysing how three different gold mining sites in the DRC's South Kivu province are governed. Most artisanal mining in the DRC is usually refer…
