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

Abstract Twenty-first Century intelligence issues involve uncertainty, mysteries, and risk. This differs from the 20th Century paradigms of security, secrets, and prevention. Analysis of current complex issues requires its practitioners’ novel approaches including a productively imaginative process of inquiry. Questions analysts ask not only serve as devices for attracting existing evidence, but also as devices for generating new evidence not presently considered. In this way, analysts meticulously examine complex issues and aided by technology, are predisposed to creating novel actionable intelligence and preventing strategic surprises. Normatively, this brand of reasoning is at odds with how most people, including intelligence analysts naturally think, as people seek to confirm the first answer to a problem they discover, selectively use evidence to support that position even when there are compelling pieces of evidence that an alternative hypothesis may actually be the correct one. That people routinely fall prey to such poor thinking is well documented and indeed, most commercial advertisers strive to take advantage of this, so do adversaries. One element of most intelligence failures includes poor thinking on the part of analysts. Poor thinking which adversaries usually take advantage of. So how can analysts avoid such thinking? One solution is to teach intelligence analysts to think critically. Critical thinking therefore provides structure to the reasoning processes that identify for analysts where they are most likely to go astray. It offers a means for self-reflective reasoning that leads to improved thinking. If such thinking is aided by structured analytic techniques, then analysts will, and do improve on how they resolve security-laden issues with clarity and effective response.
