Mai Hassan

Opis

Delving inside the state, Hassan shows how leaders politicize bureaucrats to maintain power, even after the introduction of multi-party elections.

Recenzje

'The Kenyan state is a popular case study for the dynamics of ethnic patronage politics because it has historically been dominated by clientelism and the politic of ethnic coalitions. Mai Hassan's new book, Regime threats and state solutions, is a genuine step forward in this much-studied area … The model itself provides a convincing logic of power and control within state …' Alex Dyzenhaus, Taylor and Francis Online
