Abstract

Contemporary global and national security challenges have necessitated the need to widen the horizon of intelligence studies education across the world. For the seemingly advanced democracies of the West, this has created massive liberalisation of the quest for intelligence education and training in traditional and non-military universities. For the developing albeit transitional democracies, this quest is even more compelling as they face extreme national security challenges by non-state actors, widening ungoverned spaces, and the challenges of democratic penetration. Consequently, this work attempts to evaluate the challenges and prospects of consolidating intelligence studies for national security by universities in Nigeria. Relying on extensive qualitative research, the paper was able to evaluate these prospects and challenges with the eventual policy recommendations in the collective search for a sustainable national intelligence culture via formal education and training in Nigerian universities.

Abstract

As the world collectively recognized the onerous task of collective security and the liberalization of intelligence studies, different nations have encouraged the introduction and management of intelligence studies programmes in their university system. Consequently, this work is a comparative analysis of intelligence studies as an academic discipline in the United Kingdom and Nigeria. Relying extensively on historiographical and content analysis of data and facts logically arranged in tandem with the social sciences traditional research enterprise, the study found out, unlike the UK, with a substantially longer history of intelligence studies, Nigeria is still crawling with the idea with just two private universities-Novena University and Afe Babalola University. Furthermore, the study found out that while Nigeria has a lot to learn from the UK style of intelligence studies, both countries should better develop unique albeit parallel intelligence analytical frameworks to suit their domestic needs while cooperation will be more useful in areas of manpower training, development, foundational literature, and academic professionalism.

Abstract

This study examines Islamic extremism, and the challenges of terrorism in the West African sub-region. This was achieved through a systematic review of the activities terrorist groups in West Africa and how they affect the African and indeed the global security space. Consequently, this burgeoning threat has necessitated a search for an effective solution to the sub-region’s security challenges as the region in recent times has become the flashpoint of incessant bombing, hostage-taking, killing of innocent civilians on a daily basis; leading to loss of businesses and property. The work employed an historical design and relied on primary and secondary sources of data- via the use of text books, journals, newspaper, official documents and internet sources. For the purpose of a theoretical framework, the study is guided by the frustration-aggression theory, which made it possible to discuss and apply relevant literatures that are centered on Islamic extremism, global security and the challenges of terrorism in West Africa. The study equally raised five research questions that were answered using qualitative data in the form of supportive literatures. The analysis of these literatures revealed among others; the challenges of terrorism in West Africa and the nexus between African terrorist organizations and other terrorist organizations around the globe. As part of the solution/ counter terrorism measures in West Africa, the study also reviewed the UN Global Counterterrorism Strategy (UNGC-T Strategy) and the UN General Assembly Resolution 1373 and 1612 on African Counter Terrorism Strategies. From the findings of this study, the following recommendations were made; the need for African States affected by acts of terrorism to reappraise their socio-economic conditions and political policies in other to improve on them, the creation of legal and institutional bodies to adjudicate on cases associated with terrorism, Government, through the religious advisory committee should map out sustainable strategies will encourage religious tolerance discourage any kind of preaching that involves criticism, condemnation and abuse of other religions and the adoption and implementation of the UNGC-T Strategies among others to ensure a peaceful and stable sub-region poised for economic growth and development.

Abstract

Perppu Number 2 of 2017 on Amendments to Law Number 17 of 2013 on Social Organizations is an example of a legal product where there is a relationship between Law and Politics. With this Perppu, the government has disbanded one of the social organizations, namely Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia (HTI), which was deemed not in accordance with Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution and wanted to change the state's ideology. The Perppu on Social Organizations issued by the government was promulgated by the People's Representative Council (DPR) on November 22 2017, but there are several factions that still reject the law. After observed, it is known that the factions that agree to the promulgation of the Perppu are government parties and those that reject it are political parties. opposition. Apart from that, we know that social organizations are one of the wings of politics, which are very effectively used to boost the votes of political parties and mobilize the masses. This research aims to examine legal and political relations in Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (Perppu) Number 2 of 2017 on Amendments to Law Number 17 of 2013 on Social Organizations. The research results show that there are several substances in the Perppu that have given rise to controversy in society regarding criminal sanctions and the dissolution of social organizations. All legal products, including this Perppu, are not neutral; rather, they contain interests and biases, highlighting the close relationship between law and politics.
