How the ICC Issue Sabotaged Democracy in the 2013 Kenyan Election. Tom Wolf, Public Affairs IPSOS-Kenya. In the aftermath of the 2007-2008 post-election violence, Kenyans and the country’s main international partners were determined to undertake the reforms needed to ensure that such a tragedy/crisis would never be repeated. With the finalization of its content and then the implementation of a new Constitution, these reforms included a complete overhaul of the country’s electoral management body and the ‘holding to account’ of those seen as most responsible for the earlier violence. Although a new election commission was in place by 2009 and the following (March 2013) election was largely peaceful, pursuing an agenda of accountability produced the opposite result to that intended.

Cheikh Anta Babou, University of Pennsylvania. Significant international migration from Islamic West Africa to Europe and North America began in the aftermath of World War II with a loosening of the laws that constrained the mobility of French imperial subjects and accelerated between the 1960s and 1990s. West African Muslims have been particularly successful in making room for Islam in the Western world. This seminar will investigate this process of space making and the ways in which Africans from the former French colonies in West Africa, especially Senegal, have been able to negotiate their inclusion in the Western public sphere at a time of increasing tensions with Islam.
