Defended or undermined democracy? : An interview study on the subject of how globalization has influenced democracy in Kenya. (Engelska)
Abstract [en]

The main purpose of the examination research project is to analyze and describe how democracy and globalization is understood when they are integrated in the developing country of Kenya. This has been reflected by interviewing Kenyan teachers in history and government, to receive their view on globalization and its affects on democracy. Another purpose is to discuss this in didactic terms as a way to see how it can be practically used for upper-secondary schoolteachers in the subjects of civics and social studies. The procedure of the project and the method of use are interviews that have been analyzed in all with theoretical perspectives. My queries to be answered for the research are:

1. Is it understood that democracy in Kenya has changed due to globalization?

2. If the answer says yes on the previous question, in what way is it understood how the democratic situation has been transformed due to globalization?

3. How can the outcome of the previous questions be used in tuition of civics and social studies?

 

 

My conclusions are that the Kenyan democracy has been vastly affected by globalization. Globalization has erased borders and facilitated control in the political scene of Kenya that has conveyed democratic ballot votes and democratic citizens. Leverages from the surrounding world, as a result of globalization, have also contributed to a continuing development of democracy in Kenya. Globalization works as a defender of democracy.

In didactic terms one can put the western view in contrast with the African view that gives an awareness of the main ideas of both parts. This way of building bridges works as a part of the democracy and globalization conundrum and assists to partly eradicate ethnocentrism.
