Statelessness, ungoverned spaces and security in Kenya

What is it about?

This article examines statelessness as a political outcome of the relationship among politics, security and space hence a security threat in Kenya. The conditions under which stateless persons residing in Kenya’s ungoverned spaces, create opportunities for them to join transnational terror groups like Al-Shabaab thereby constituting a threat to national security .

Why is it important?

Statelessness is examined not from a legal perspective but a spatial-political dimension thereby providing an alternative framework to analyse the relationship between statelessness and security under conditions of state fragility.
