Résumé

Focusing on Kenya since independence, Hassan shows how leaders politicize the management of state institutions to induce bureaucratic behavior that furthers their political goals. This nuanced analysis will interest political scientists and scholars studying African politics, state bureaucracy, and political violence.

Texte suppl.

'Carefully argued and meticulously researched, Hassan offers a strategic logic for why bureaucratic capacity varies so widely within post-colonial African states. Hassan systematically dissects and analyzes wide-ranging data from the Kenyan Provincial Administration with the goal of understanding how Kenya's leaders have used bureaucrats to manage threats to power … An outstanding and important contribution.' Lisa Blaydes, Stanford University
