NGOs and the State in Kenya © 2010 Jennifer Naomi Brass Abstract Surrogates for Government? NGOs and the State in Kenya by Jennifer Naomi Brass Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Berkeley Professor (Emeritus) David K. Leonard, Chair This dissertation examines the impact on the Kenyan state of the explosive growth of non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) providing social services in the country since the early 1990s. While NGOs have been present in Kenya since before independence, their numbers grew 15‐fold between 1991 and 2008, from about 400 to over 6,000, and most of their funding now derives from foreign sources. What impact do these organizations have on the state? The dissertation answers this question, examining how service provision in education, healthcare, agriculture and water by internationally‐funded NGOs affects the social contract between the state and its citizens, the country’s governance, and its administrative capacity.

  • Civil Society and Democratisation Theory: an Inter-Regional Comparison
    Civil Society and Democratisation Theory: An Inter-regional Comparison Gideon. B. Baker Submitted in accordance with the requirements of degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds Department of Politics September 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others Abstract This thesis constitutes an inquiry into the relationship between civil society theory and democratic theory. It revolves around an investigation into, and comparison between, recent discourses on civil society originating from within diverse political contexts. This is in order to uncover what the central claims - both normative and programmatic - of civil society theory are in the contemporary era, how these relate to the political contexts within which they have originated, and why they reemerged when they did. The findings from this investigation then provided the material for a substantive critique of the overall coherence of recent civil society theory, and of the contribution of the idea of civil society to democratic theory and practice; they also enable a comparison of current ideas about civil society with classical civil society theory. The thesis presents a number of new arguments. Firstly, that all models of civil society, since their revival in the 1970s, make assumptions - though often hidden or unconscious - about what democracy is and of where it should take place. Secondly, recent notions of civil society are divided most clearly into radical and liberal-democratic models, with crucial implications for how civil society is conceived. Thirdly, civil society theory illustrates the close linkages between political ideas and the political base within which they are articulated; political discourse, despite its power to shape the political context, must itself evolve in accordance with the exigencies of the political base if it is to survive.

  • Bridging the Divide Between Oppositional Civil Society and Opposition Parties
    EMPTY COFFINS: BRIDGING THE DIVIDE BETWEEN OPPOSITIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY AND OPPOSITION PARTIES A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Government By Caitlin M. Brown, B.A. Washington, DC April 10, 2017 Copyright 2017 by Caitlin M. Brown All Rights Reserved ii EMPTY COFFINS: BRIDGING THE DIVIDE BETWEEN OPPOSITIONAL CIVIL SOCIETY AND OPPOSITION PARTIES Caitlin M. Brown, B.A. Advisor: Marc M. Howard, Ph.D. ABSTRACT When they hold similar policy preferences, civil society groups that are critical of the incumbent government in democratic states and out-of-power opposition parties would seem to be natural allies. But individuals who are dissatisfied enough with the incumbent government to found and lead civil society groups opposing its actions do not always also invest their time and energy in supporting likeminded opposition parties. When will the leaders of such oppositional civil society groups direct their organizations to become active participants in electoral politics? Using in-depth case studies of two different types of oppositional civil society groups in post-apartheid South Africa—social movements and NGOs—this dissertation finds significant initial support for a theory that oppositional civil society groups wait until opposition parties are states-in-waiting to become directly involved in electoral politics. When oppositional civil society perceives opposition parties to be pursuing control of the state in order to significantly alter its form and functions, they will actively support their preferred political parties in their electoral efforts; when opposition parties present themselves as simply alternative governments, eager to take control of the state but not to change its institutions, governing rules, or relationship with society, oppositional civil society will choose to remain largely disengaged from partisan and electoral politics.

  • “Seiko Musina Morari?” : the Carnivalesque Modes of the Pungwe Institution in Selected Shona Novels
    “SEIKO MUSINA MORARI?” : THE CARNIVALESQUE MODES OF THE PUNGWE INSTITUTION IN SELECTED SHONA NOVELS by ADVICE VIRIRI Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY in the subject of AFRICAN LANGUAGES at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA PROMOTER : PROFESSOR D. E. MUTASA JOINT-PROMOTER : PROFESSOR M. T. VAMBE DECEMBER 2013 DECLARATION Student number : 3106-824-3 I, Advice Viriri, declare that “Seiko Musina Morari?” : The Carnivalesque Modes of the Pungwe Institution in Selected Shona Novels, is my work and that the sources used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. 20 DECEMBER 2013 …………………………………… …………………………………. Signature : Date. ii ABSTRACT This study is an analysis of the depiction of Pungwe (Night Vigil) in selected Shona novels and songs. The study uses Bakhtin’s description of a historical phenomenon-cum-literary theoretical framework called the carnivalesque. The theory’s tenets apply to the analysis of Shona novels and songs. It is demonstrated that although the depiction of the Pungwe in the literature varies between or among Shona authors, there is general consensus that the carnivalesque elements of the Pungwe encouraged a subversion that undermines virtually all categories of social privilege in the novels and the songs. The carnivalesque theory encourages analysis of fiction and songs that produce the pluralising of meanings of the Pungwe in the Shona novels and songs that are rendered semantically unstable. Narrative instability is transgressive and its liberating potential manifests itself through the different activities and energies mobilised at the Pungwe. As a carnival square, the Pungwe institution found in the Shona novel and songs is portrayed as the main site for resisting imperial domination in Rhodesia.
