Widner charts the transformation of the Kenya African National Union (KANU) from a weak, loosely organized political party under Jomo Kenyatta into an arm of the president's office, with "watchdog" youth wings and strong surveillance and control functions, under Moi. She suggests that single-party systems have an inherent tendency to become "party-states," or single-party regimes in which the head of state uses the party as a means of control. The speed and extent of these changes depend on the countervailing power of independent interest groups, such as business associations, farmers, or professionals. Widner's study offers important insights into the dynamics of party systems in Africa. 607 $aKenya$xPolitics and government$y1978-2002 676 $a967.6204 700 $aWidner$b Jennifer A.$0464530 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495873303321 996 $aThe Rise of a Party-State in Kenya$92862207 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03859nam 22006974a 450 001 9910345146803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-08739-8 010 $a9786612087394 010 $a1-4008-2632-2 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400826322 035 $a(CKB)1000000000756332 035 $a(EBL)445516 035 $a(OCoLC)367684503 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000131587 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11129340 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000131587 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10027360 035 $a(PQKB)10901876 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse36348 035 $a(DE-B1597)446295 035 $a(OCoLC)979970145 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400826322 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL445516 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10284145 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL208739 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC445516 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000756332 100 $a20040121d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aCovenants without swords $eidealist liberalism and the spirit of empire /$fJeanne Morefield 205 $aCourse Book 210 $aPrinceton, N.J. $cPrinceton University Press$dc2005 215 $a1 online resource (267 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-691-17140-8 311 $a0-691-11992-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

It does so by examining the work of two extremely influential British liberals and internationalists, Gilbert Murray and Alfred Zimmern. Jeanne Morefield mounts a forceful challenge to disciplinary boundaries by arguing that this tension, on both the domestic and international levels, is best understood as frequently arising from the same, liberal reformist political aim--namely, the aim of fashioning a socially conscious liberalism that ultimately reifies putatively natural, preliberal notions of paternalistic order. Morefield also questions conventional analyses of interwar thought by resurrecting the work of Murray and Zimmern, and by linking their approaches to liberal internationalism with the ossified notion of sovereignty that continues to trouble international politics to this day. Ultimately, Morefield argues, these two thinkers' drift toward conservative and imperialist understandings of international order was the result of a more general difficulty still faced by liberals today: how to adequately define community in liberal terms without sacrificing these terms themselves. Moreover, Covenants without Swords suggests that Murray and Zimmern's work offers a cautionary historical example for the cadre of post-September 11th "new imperialists" who believe it possible to combine a liberal commitment to equality with an American Empire. 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aInternationalism 606 $aEquality 606 $aHierarchies 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aInternationalism. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aHierarchies. 676 $a320.51 700 $aMorefield$b Jeanne$f1967-$01046659 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910345146803321 996 $aCovenants without swords$92473730 997 $aUNINA
