"Kenya is one of the most politically dynamic and influential countries in sub-Saharan
Africa. Today, it is known in equal measure as a country that has experienced great
highs and tragic lows. In the 1960s and 1970s, Kenya was seen as a "success story"
of development in the periphery, and also led the way in terms of democratic breakthroughs
in 2010 when a new constitution devolved power and placed new constraints on the president.
However, the country has also makes international headlines for the kind of political
instability that occurs when electoral violence is expressed along ethnic lines, such
as during the "Kenya crisis" of 2007/08 when over 1,000 people lost their lives and
almost 700,000 were displaced. This Handbook explains these developments and many
more, drawing together 50 specially commissioned chapters by leading researchers.
The chapters they have contributed address a range of essential topics including the
legacy of colonial rule, ethnicity, land politics, devolution, the constitution, elections,
democracy, foreign aid, the informal economy, civil society, human right, the International
Criminal Court, the rise of China, economic policy, electoral violence, and the impact
of mobile phone technology. In addition to covering some of the most important debates
about Kenyan politics, the volume provides a comprehensive overview of Kenyan history
from 1930 to the present day and features a set of chapters that review the impact
of devolution on regional politics in every part of the country."
