Kenya's Quest for Democracy: Taming Leviathan

Tracing the trajectory of postcolonial politics, Makau Mutua maps the political forces that have shaped contemporary Kenya. He also critically explores efforts on the part of both civil society and the political opposition to reform the state. Analyzing the tortuous efforts since independence to create a sustainable, democratic state, he uses the struggle over constitutional reform as a window for understanding the larger struggles confronting Kenyan society.Mutua, Makau is the author of 'Kenya's Quest for Democracy: Taming Leviathan', published 2008 under ISBN 9781588265906 and ISBN 1588265900.
