Abstract

This paper studies the oil economy with a particular focus on the Nigeria’s Niger Delta Region. It argues that since the discovery and exploration of oil in commercial quantities in the Region, it has become both a blessing and a curse. It is a blessing because it has provided wealth to the people and government of the region. Some indigenes of the Nigeria Delta are owners of the oil wells others are employed to work with the oil multi-national companies like Chevron, Texaco, Shell Petroleum Development Company, Agip Oil Company, et cetera.  The exploration of oil in the area under review is also a curse because it has negatively affected plants and animals (that is the destruction of flora and fauna); it has destroyed the ecosystem of the area.  Using survey and documentary methods of data collection; the paper reveals that despite the discovery and exploration of oil in the said region, Nigeria’s Delta Region has remained one of the underdeveloped regions of the country. This is to say that the impact of the oil industry on the economy and society of the people is marginally felt. Based on the foregoing, these policy options are made. The government should give immediate attention to the indigenes of the region where crude oil is being extracted from. This will reduce the unrest in that region. The government should establish an institution that will ensure that the multinational oil companies are socially responsible to their host communities. Environmental pollution and the adverse effects on the host communities of oil exploration sites in the Niger Delta is an important issue that requires urgent and prompt attention because petroleum production forms the major natural-based resources on which the country depends. Therefore, Policymakers of the various oil exploration companies should realize that there is a need to protect the health, safety, and welfare of these communities. The communities and the inhabitants have to be well protected and some of the health and safety measures, which members of the company staff benefit, should be extended to members of the host communities to improve their standard of living.

Abstract

The Rohingya-Rakhine communities’ conflict in Myanmar has been a protracted and complex issue since the 1970s, fueled by historical animosity, religious and social differences, and competition for resources. The conflict has led to significant humanitarian crises, including mass displacement, human rights abuses, and severe food shortages, with 57 percent of families in Rakhine State unable to afford basic food needs. The situation has been exacerbated by the February 2021 military coup, with both the Myanmar military and the Arakan Army committing human rights abuses. Using secondary sources of data and interdisciplinary approach, this paper explores the socio-economic context of the conflict, examining the historical context, current situation, and potential solutions to address the humanitarian crisis and promote sustainable peace and development. It aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the conflict and identify effective strategies for resolving it. The paper highlights the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach that addresses the root causes of the conflict and promotes the rights and dignity of all communities involved. Ultimately, this paper seeks to inform policy and practice aimed at promoting peace, stability, and human rights in Myanmar.

Abstract

This study investigates the evolution of Islamic diplomacy in the modern era and its implications for global governance and international relations. It notes the increasing influence of Muslim-majority countries in global affairs, signifying a paradigm shift where Islamic values—such as justice, equality, and compassion—are integrated into diplomatic practices. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in Constructivism and Realism, the research analyzes how ideas, norms, and power dynamics influence state behavior. Data was collected through an extensive literature review and examination of primary religious texts (Quran and Hadith), alongside institutional documents from organizations like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Islamic Development Bank (IDB). The findings highlight significant transformations in Islamic diplomacy, tracing its evolution from historical treaties like the Treaty of Hudaybiyah to contemporary multilateral engagement in international organizations. Key modern trends are identified, including a shift toward economic diplomacy, enhanced South-South cooperation, and collaborative efforts in counter-terrorism. While Islamic diplomacy presents opportunities for promoting cultural dialogue, good governance, and addressing global challenges such as climate change and poverty, it also confronts several challenges. These encompass value disparities with Western nations, the destabilizing influence of extremist groups, and the complexities of asymmetrical power dynamics in an anarchic international system. The study concludes that Islamic diplomacy is a crucial element of modern international relations, with the potential to foster a more inclusive, equitable, and peaceful world order. It advocates for open dialogue between Western nations and Muslim-majority countries, encourages Track II diplomacy, and suggests the adoption of nuanced, country-specific strategies to build mutual trust and enhance global stability.
