520 _aThis book presents a comprehensive analysis of Kenya's foreign policy decisions, examining its pivotal role in global affairs and its interplay with regional and international dynamics. Through an insightful exploration of Kenya's national security concerns and diplomatic engagements, the book delves into the intricate nexus between geography, political stability, and foreign policy. Featuring a near-chronological examination, the book is organized thematically, with each chapter analysing Kenya's multifaceted foreign policy landscape. From exploring the genesis of Kenya's foreign policy to unravelling the political intricacies of territorial integrity and regionalism, the book illuminates the nation's historical journey in the global arena. Drawing on empirical research, it presents the complexities of Kenya's involvement in regional conflicts and its substantial contributions to international peacekeeping efforts. Furthermore, it offers a nuanced understanding of Kenya's engagement in global multilateral platforms, shedding light on its contributions to the UN Security Council and other international governing bodies. By critically analysing the socio-economic implications of global policies such as the Washington Consensus and Structural Adjustment Programs, the book details the intricate web of influences shaping Kenya's economic landscape and its intricate relations with other nations. Engaging readers with a deep exploration of Kenya's role in addressing humanitarian crises and its response to global challenges, the book provides a compelling narrative on how a seemingly 'small power' can significantly influence broader global dynamics. By emphasizing the intricate relationship between local challenges and global implications, the book serves as an indispensable guide for scholars, policymakers, and global stakeholders seeking to comprehend the nuanced interplay of geopolitics, diplomacy, and regional security within the broader context of the Global South.
