Kenia erlangt Anfang der 1960er seine Unabhängigkeit und wird in der Folge von den Präsidenten Kenyatta und später Moi autoritär regiert. Als Konsequenz des internationalen und nationalen Druckes werden 1991 wieder Mehrparteienwahlen zugelassen. Die Hoffnungen auf einen Trendwechsel werden zunächst aber nicht erfüllt. Präsident Moi bleibt bei den Wahlen 1992 und 1997 siegreich und versucht jeden möglichen Reformprozess aufzuhalten bzw. zu verlangsamen. Mit dem neu gewählten Präsidenten Kibaki entsteht 2002 die Hoffnung auf Veränderung. Aber als alter Wegbegleiter Mois erfüllt Kibaki nicht die internationalen und nationalen Erwartungen. Moi und Kibaki organisieren jeweils kontra-demokratische Eliten hinter sich und nutzen das mächtige Präsidentenamt, die stärkste Institution im politischen System Kenias, um den Status quo so lange wie möglich zu erhalten. Die Parteien werden weder durch die Regierung noch durch die Opposition zu starken Institutionen transformiert und das unstete Verhalten der Geberländer vermag den Einfluss der autoritären Führung nicht dauerhaft einzuschränken.
Introduction to Georg Lukacs: Why Democracies are superior to Autocracies? and The real Germany
(2015)
Two short typescripts by G. Lukacs from the archive, dating from 1941/42, shed light on his appraisal of the cultural 'inner reserves' of Germany and the 'moral reserves' of the democracies involved in the Second World War, as well as on Lukacs's political philosophy at that time. The conception of an intrinsic interrelation of a humanist philosophical anthropology and rationalist epistemology elucidates his egalitarian and democratic account. Both texts are located within the intellectual development of the author in an introduction by the editor, which sketches the historical background and indicates relevant contemporaneous theoretical and political debates, such as the controversies over realism and humanism and also a dispute with K. Jaspers on German collective guilt.
