Résumé
Cette étude résulte d’un certain malaise noté dans le leadership et la gestion actuels des Facultés des sciences sociales des universités kenyanes. Guidée par la conviction que les sciences sociales doivent être appréciées sur la base de leur bien-fondé scientifique et leur pertinence politique, l’étude examine les dilemmes auxquels les doyens des facultés font face dans l’exécution de leurs rôles de leadership dans la gestion globale des universités. L’étude repose sur le fait que le secteur universitaire kenyan connait des change- ments sans précédent dans un effort de respecter les obligations locales et de répondre à l’agenda global de l’enseignement supérieur.
