But a state does not act; bureaucrats work through the state to carry out a leader's demands. In turn, leaders attempt to use their authority over the state to manage bureaucrats in a way that induces the type of bureaucratic behavior that furthers their policy and political goals. Focusing on Kenya since independence, Hassan weaves together micro-level personnel data, rich archival records, and interview evidence to show how the country's different leaders have strategically managed, and in effect weaponized, the public sector. The analysis shows how even states categorized as weak have proven very capable of helping their leader stay in power"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bureaucracy $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Civil service $z Kenya. 650 0 $a Social control $z Kenya. 650 0 $a State, The. 651 0 $a Kenya $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Bureaucracy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00841702 650 7 $a Civil service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00862730 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122415 650 7 $a State, The. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131943 651 7 $a Kenya. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01208718 776 08 $i Online version: $a Hassan, Mai, 1987- $t Regime threats and state solutions. $d [New York] : [Cambridge University Press], 2019. $z 9781108858960 $w (DLC) 2019038195 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in comparative politics. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721013642.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9B667076403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
