The Kenya Debate concerned whether authentic capitalist development would take place on the periphery of the global economy. Capitalism has deepened, but prior internal developments, extreme inequality by social class, a profoundly changing international order at the time of the debate, and the subsequent predatory political behavior of the political class have set Kenya’s economy on a very problematic path. This chapter discusses core features o…

Putting the Third Wave into Practice
Joel Barkan's work as the U.S. Agency for International Development's Regional Democracy and Governance Advisor for Eastern and Southern Africa brought both realism and conceptual strengthening to democracy promotion, most notably giving legitimacy and practical meaning to the concept of civil society as an essential dimension of democratization

Land and the Quest for a Democratic State in Kenya
Kenya's current constitutional moment has included both the first pop ularly ratified constitution and its first postindependence comprehensive land reform policy. The roughly temporally parallel processes that brought about these two signal achievements have inserted the interests of ordinary Kenyans into this constitutional moment in a way that elections and constitutional ratification alone would not have, reflecting more than two decades of c…
ASR Focus
Kenya's long quest for democratic reform since the first multiparty elections in 1991 has been inextricably enmeshed in a parallel struggle for fundamental socioeconomic reform. The essays in this special ASR Focus originated with a roundtable at the 2009 annual meetings of the African Studies Association in New Orleans that centered on the problems of and prospects for reform in Kenya-specifically, the efforts to forestall a repetition of the vi…

Ethiopia's Extended Transition
Ethiopia’s Extended Transition John W. Harbeson (bio) Beginning on 15 May 2005, Ethiopia conducted the first genuinely competitive multiparty elections in its long history. As of this writing in early September 2005, it appears that the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), which has been at the heart of a de facto single-party regime for 14 years, has secured a further five-year mandate. Yet the EPRDF saw its majority in the…
Area Studies” and the Discipline
This collection of rich, provocative essays heralds a new opportunity for the reinvigoration of political science. Our premise, and the premise of our essayists, is that the term “area studies” is a misnomer. The political scientists whose works have focused on specific world regions have yielded significant theoretical and conceptual contributions for the discipline, both in the past and in the present
