Conflict, Peace, and Security in Kenya

This book assesses peace and security dynamics in Kenya from a range of different disciplinary perspectives.In doing so, the book demonstrates how peace and security reaches across all levels of society, from interpersonal everyday conversations, through to the media, government, and international deliberations. The book argues that we can only find broad-based, comprehensive and sustainable solutions to peace and security concerns if we recognise the multidimensional and varied meanings of these concepts. With broad coverage of contemporary peace and security challenges in Kenya across disciplines, the book considers the notion of human security, homegrown extremism, gender-based violence in the media, Female genital mutilation, women in peacebuilding to climate change and natural resources conflicts among other topics.Blending theory and practice, this book will be perfect for researchers and students working on peace and security in Kenya, as well as for policymakers, practitioners, and civil society actors requiring evidence-based insights to inform their interventions.
