Citizen Participation in Decision Making. Towards Inclusive Development in Kenya
ISBN: 9789966028433 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is a result of public dialogue forums in pursuit of accountable and transparent governance in Kenya organized by Twaweza Communications with the support of Ford Foundation.

Quite often, political leaders view the role of citizens in governance as restricted primarily to their participation in the electoral process. This narrow view has led to arrogance and total disregard of citizens after poll results are announced. Under the...

Defining Moments. Reflections on Citizenship, Violence and the 2007 General Elections in Kenya
ISBN: 9789966028310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There is no singular interpretation over the forces that almost brought Kenya to a standstill around the 2007 general elections. The truth about what actually happened will be found in the in-between spaces of dialogue and voicing. Somewhere amidst these at times contradictory and at times reaffirming voices can be found glimpses of what the pursuit of political power can do to a people, especially in a State where accountability to citizens is of minimal value. The essays in Defining Moments capture some of the transformative moments during the crisis that rocked Kenya in 2007/2008 and in...

Ethnic Diversity in Eastern Africa. Opportunities and Challenges
ISBN: 9789966724489 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In most of Africa, there is evidence of politicised inter-ethnic rivalry and ethnic mobilisation to acquire, maintain or monopolise power as competition for resources intensify. This volume demonstrates how ethnic diversity can be managed at a number of levels in order to improve the lives of citizens. As the contributors show, ethnicity as an identity is fluid and malleable. It can be deconstructed in order to reduce its saliency. Evidently, strong ethnic affliation has also been viewed as a major barrier to human and economic development although ethnically bound welfare organisations do...
