This book analyses the ethnic conflict that engulfed Kenya’s Rift Valley Province at the turn of the nineties when multi-party democratic politics were being reintroduced in the country. Its central thesis is that ethnic conflict in the country then was a function of several issues, among them ethnocentrism, politics, the land question and criminal behaviour in certain circles. Both its determinants and consequences are demographic, economic, political and socio-cultural, implying the risks involved in oversimplifying issues.

Media, Ethnicity, and Electoral Conflicts in Kenya critically examines the interplay between the media, ethnicity, and electoral conflicts in Kenya. Jacinta Mwende Maweu analyzes the place of ethnicity in Kenyan politics and the key drivers of electoral conflicts, as well as how ethnicity influences media framing of these conflicts in the Kenyan context. Maweu argues that, although there are many factors that can affect an electoral process and result in conflict and violence, the role that the mainstream media and new media play is central. As Maweu illustrates through various arguments, politicians in Kenya and other deeply divided societies in Africa have continued to use mainstream and digital media to weaponize ethnicity as they invoke issues of belonging, inclusion, and exclusion. By examining the role of both traditional and digital media in electoral conflicts, Media, Ethnicity, and Electoral Conflicts in Kenya makes a significant contribution to the ongoing academic debate on the role of media in elections and electoral conflicts in Kenya and Africa.

This book is more than just a study of ethnic politics in Kenya and Nigeria. The two countries are a microcosm of the entire continent: the problems it faces, its successes and failures, and the hope and despair of hundreds of millions of its people whose aspirations have been frustrated by decades of corrupt leadership that has skilfully exploited one of Africa's biggest weaknesses -- tribalism. But the people themselves are also responsible for that. They have allowed tribalism to flourish and destroy the countries. And they have allowed unscrupulous politicians to use and abuse them -- without storming the Bastille. What they are not responsible for is dictatorship African leaders instituted to perpetuate themselves in office by exploiting tribalism. These despots have been so good at it, and have done it for so long since independence, that many African countries are now on the brink of collapse, with the people at war against themselves.

Kenya's 2007 General Election results announcement precipitated the worst ethnic conflict in the country's history; 1,133 people were killed, while 600,000 were internally displaced. Within 2 months, the incumbent and the challenger had agreed to a power-sharing agreement and a Government of National Unity. This book investigates the role of socio-cultural origins of ethnic conflict during electoral periods in Kenya beginning with the multi-party era of democratization and the first multi-party elections of 1992, illustrating how ethnic groups construct their interests and cooperate (or fail to) based on shared traits. The author demonstrates that socio-cultural traditions have led to the collaboration (and frequent conflict) between the Kikuyu and Kalenjin that has dominated power and politics in independent Kenya. The author goes onto evaluate the possibility of peace for future elections. This book will be of interest to scholars of African democracy, Kenyan history and politics, and ethnic conflict.

How are states built? How can a fragile state be transformed into a viable and stable state? How can a sustainable Kenyan state be built? This book focuses on this subject. In seeking for an answer, the author critically examines the various tools of statecraft as postulated in the main contemporary schools of thought in state building; namely, consociationalism, centripetalism, power dividing and complex power sharing as they relate to the unique circumstances of the Kenyan society. The author approaches this subject from the broader perspective of institutional engineering which involves the creative design of political institutions. The book offers a refreshing and critical assessment of the key tenets of institutional design including the organizational design of the state, the electoral system, the political party system, the system of government, and bill of rights regime. The author draws from the experience of a wide range of countries across the world - particularly South Africa, Nigeria, Ethiopia and India - to demonstrate the pathways the Kenyan people have to tread to secure their future and country. The point of departure is the appreciation that although Kenya has enjoyed relative peace in much of her post-independence political history, it has overtime become increasingly clear that this seeming peace conceals deep ethnic tensions which can, and has, found expression in ethnic conflicts. These tensions and cycles of ethnic conflict during electoral periods, have revealed the fragility of the Kenyan State, raised concerns over her long-term viability and underscored the need for effective measures aimed at building a stable and durable state. After the 2007 ethnic conflict, which left the country on the brinks of civil war, steps were taken in the direction of reconstructing the Kenyan state. From the perspective of the art of statecraft, this book assesses the efficacy of these steps and offers the way forward towards building a stable and sustainable Kenyan state.
