This book explores British post-colonial foreign policy towards
Kenya from 1963 to 1980. It reveals the extent and nature of
continued British government influence in Kenya after independence.
It argues that this was not simply about neo-colonialism, and
Kenya's elite had substantial agency to shape the relationship. The
first section addresses how policy was made and the role of High
Commissions and diplomacy. It emphasises contingency, with policy
produced through shared interests and interaction with leading
Kenyans. It argues that British policy-makers helped to create and
then reinforced Kenya's neo-patrimonialism. The second part
examines the economic, military, personal and diplomatic networks
which successive British governments sustained with independent
Kenya. A combination of interlinked interests encouraged British
officials to place a high value on this relationship, even as their
world commitments diminished. This book appeals to those interested
in Kenyan history, post-colonial Africa, British foreign policy,
and forms of diplomacy and policy-making.
