Panel 98: Violent Respacing in Kenya? History, Dynamics and Future Implications of the 2007-08 Post-Election Crisis (Dieter Neubert / Axel Harneit-Sievers)

Panel Organiser: Dieter Neubert / Axel Harneit-Sievers

Post-election violence in Kenya in early 2008 was fuelled by land conflicts, identity politics, social inequality and widespread complaints about regional marginalization. With this panel we invite scholars and civil society activists to analyse the post-election clashes against their historical background and point to the options and challenges faced by the new coalition government. How should Kenya’s ethno-regional power balance and resource distribution (especially land) be reshaped?
