Description

This scholarly examination explores British post-colonial foreign policy towards Kenya spanning 1963 to 1980, revealing the complexity of continued British government influence following Kenyan independence. Rather than presenting a straightforward neo-colonial narrative, the book demonstrates how Kenya's elite possessed substantial agency in shaping bilateral relations. The first section investigates policy formation mechanisms and the pivotal role of High Commissions and diplomatic channels in managing post-independence ties. The analysis emphasises contingency and interaction, illustrating how British policy-makers collaborated with leading Kenyan figures through shared interests whilst simultaneously reinforcing broader strategic objectives. This Cambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies volume offers nuanced insight into the intricate dynamics of decolonisation-era diplomacy and governance, challenging simplistic interpretations of post-colonial power relationships between Britain and Kenya.
