This book maps major themes in twenty-first century Eastern African politics. Bringing together researchers and academics from across the region, it takes stock of recent developments in politics, public policy, administration and governance in South Sudan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Somalia that have taken place over the last two decades. The book argues that it is not feasible to conduct a complete continental comparative analysis of these themes, and that only by examining them by geographic region can we build up a nuanced and incisive analysis of similarities and differences across Africa as a whole. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book includes studies from across the social sciences, as well as law and environmental science. Filling an important void in current literature, it will appeal to academics, practitioners, teachers and students of comparative politics, governance and democracy in Eastern Africa.weiterlesen
