The aftermath of an election crisis : Kenyan attitudes and the influence of individual-level and locality violence

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
The A. analyses the aftermath of an election crisis through Kenyan attitudes and the influence of individual-level and locality violence. He finds that respondents who personally experienced electoral violence are less likely to express certain forms of inter-personal and institutional trust than those individuals who did not. He also tests how local level violence may indirectly condition Kenyan political attitudes. Across all models, individual-level exposure to violence has the most consistent influence upon opinions, although district level effects emerge in analyses without survey respondent ethnicity controls. This finding suggests that living in a setting of regional insecurity does not have as important an effect on certain political views as personal victimization.
