East Africa is experiencing a period of swift changes. This development is characterized by a rapidly growing population, the modernization of agricultural production, innovations in energy technologies as well as the increase in nature conservation areas. At the same time, East African societies continue to be shaped by violent conflicts, state failures and social grievances. The consequences of climate change and further waves of globalization might exacerbate these problems in this highly dynamic region
