Abstract

The Gulf of Guinea (GoG) is a critical artery for global oil and gas distribution, yet its supply chain is plagued by a complex risk ecosystem. This study investigates the imperative of intelligence management in mitigating these risks. Employing a mixed-methods approach, it integrates quantitative data from the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) and MDAT-GoG (2020-2024) with qualitative insights from focused group interviews with 12 security and industry experts. The findings reveal an evolution in maritime criminality towards armed robbery and theft, persistent infrastructure deficits that act as risk multipliers, and a critical "intelligence deficit" hindering proactive risk management. The study concludes that security threats, infrastructural decay, and geopolitical instability are interconnected. It recommends regional intelligence collaboration via the Yaoundé Architecture, route optimization using digital tools, massive infrastructural investment, and a sustainable regional security framework to secure the oil and gas supply chain.

Abstract

This study examines the legal construction of authority for mineral and coal mining permits in Indonesia and Nigeria, using a normative approach grounded in statutory analysis and critical legal reasoning. It examines how central regional power configurations shape the effectiveness and justice of mining-licensing governance. The study finds that Indonesia’s regulatory framework, particularly since the enactment of the Mineral and Coal Mining Law and the Job Creation Law, consolidates licensing authority at the central level, reducing regional participation and limiting protections for indigenous and local communities. Similarly, Nigeria’s centralized licensing regime generates distributional inequities, weak transparency, and persistent conflict in resource-rich regions. The comparative findings demonstrate that excessive centralization, without substantive spatial and community participation, creates governance gaps and risks legitimacy. The study concludes that mining licensing systems in both jurisdictions require reconstruction toward a participatory decentralization model that incorporates regional involvement, community rights, and ecological justice. These insights offer implications for the design of more equitable, transparent, and sustainable natural resource governance.
