dc.description.abstract | This research is a research study approach which focuses on the role of peace diplomacy in
enhancing interstate relations between Kenya and South Sudan. The government of Kenya has
been one of the key security allies and peace negotiators in S. Sudan since they attained
independence in 2011 and before. This study was aimed at examining the trend of peace
diplomacy in addressing interstate conflict in the horn of Africa region by analyzing the United
Nation’s role in enhancing peace; the impact of authoritarian regimes in interstate conflicts
situations; and the contribution of the international regimes in the enhancement of peace
diplomacy in S. Sudan and the whole region. It also analyzed the approaches used by the
Kenyan government to enhance peace in South Sudan. Article 33 of the UN Charter was used
as a guideline to analyze the approaches that many states use in peace restoration efforts
worldwide. In addition, the influence of economic security on peace diplomacy between Kenya
and S. Sudan was analyzed. The research employed the census calculation method to calculate
the number of samples since the sample size was less than 200. The method used to select the
samples was the simple random sampling, whereas pre-focused discussions, interview guide,
and census methodological approach were used to collect data while utilizing the content
analysis to analyze the resulting qualitative data. The study established that most states in the
horn of Africa region have military options instead of peace diplomacy in conflict resolution.
The Kenya-South Sudan case is no different. The study also found out that Kenya and S. Sudan
have embraced western liberal tendencies that have not promoted peace. Peace education and
cultural exchange should be emphasized in foreign policy and diplomacy matters. Economic
security should be embraced as a significant contributor to peace diplomacy between Kenya
and South Sudan. | en_US |
