Abstract: Kenya has satisfied the qualifications of a state under the 1648 Westphalia Treaty, Kenya can fully participate in the international arena. Foreign policy forms an integral part of international relations because it forms the basis of interaction with the international community. Over the years Kenya’s behavior has been multifaceted, which has been attributed to the complexities, contradictions and changing dynamics, it has been celebrated by some and condemned by others. This paper explores the interplay between state leadership and the intriguing implications it has had on Kenya’s foreign policy engagement. The paper argues that the idiosyncratic variables of a state leader and the external environment triggered the foreign policy direction of a state.
Keywords: Foreign Policy, dynamics, politics and implications.
