Abstract

Die vorliegende Arbeit trägt der Aktualität des Themas ethnischer Konflikte im Zusammenhang mit politischer Liberalisierung Rechnung, indem sie das Beispiel Kenyas aus historischer Perspektive bis zu den rezenten gewaltsamen Ausschreitungen Ende 2007 aufrollt. Die Analyse greift jene entscheidenden Phasen seit dem Beginn der politischen Transition in Kenya Anfang der 1990er Jahre auf, vor deren Hintergrund drei von Gewalt dominierte Konflikte ausgetragen wurden. Dabei wird im Besonderen auf die Bedeutung von Ethnizität wie auch ethnischer Konflikte für den Transitionsprozess eingegangen. Durch die differenzierte Betrachtung des vielschichtigen Problems werden zentrale Faktoren wie die Landfrage, regional divergierende Machtverhältnisse, ökonomische Zusammenhänge, die manipulierende Rolle von Wahlkampfrhetorik, rechtsstaatliche Rahmenbedingungen, der Einfluss der politischen Elite aber auch die Bedeutung regionaler Konflikte für Kenya berücksichtigt.
