Elections in Kenya

In the run-up to the 4 March and 11 April 2013 elections in Kenya, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) published two background reports.  The first one by Joel Barkan, senior associate in the Africa Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, appeared in January 2013 and is titled "Electoral Violence in Kenya."  The second is dated 28 February 2013 by Joshua Kurlantzick, fellow for Southeast Asia at CFR.  His contribution is titled "Democracy's Decline and the Case of Kenya."  Both are worth a look.
