This book considers the role of trade unions in national development and governance in Kenya. It covers a range of topics, including union policy positions on the introduction of laptops in schools, technologies and productivity measurements, and e-participation in national and international labor solidarity.

Trade Unions and the Age of Information and Communication Technologies in Kenya provides a comprehensive description of the use of ICTs within the trade union movement in Kenya. In this book, Professor Eric Otenyo explores the intersection between new technologies and union as key stakeholders in national governance and development. The dearth of research on how trade unions can play a part in the new economy continues to undermine the effective use of ICTs in development. This book brings to light the challenges that unions face while navigating the new economy and netstate characterized by a proliferation of ICTs and globalization.

Eric Otenyo is professor of politics and international affairs at Northern Arizona University.
