| Title: | Main Title: The Making of an Energy Resource Periphery? Scalar Politics, FrontierDynamics, and Future-Making in Northern Kenya |
| Description: | Abstract: Recent developments in Kenya’s remote rural north are being driven by extensive infrastructure investments for energy production and generation. Renewables such as wind and geothermal together with crude oil extraction are among the most important projects. This chapter examines three such projects. These projects not only harbour opportunities and risks for the affected population, but also open up new possibilities for negotiating the future. Will the formerly marginalized areas benefit from the developments or will they become energy resource peripheries for the economically stronger regions of the country? We show that the outcome of these negotiation processes is largely open, because of political conditions such as devolution and instability in the regions concerned. |
