Abstract

This article examines the domestic factors that have determined and influenced Zambia’s foreign policy. While this attempt has not been as successful as one would wish, some useful insights are obtainable through analysis of the role of the governing parties from the liberation hero and founding President Kenneth Kaunda and the United National Independence Party (UNIP) and subsequent heads of state and their respective parties, the Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD), the Patriotic Front (PF) and the United Party for National Development (UPND), that have led the country throughout this period. The article contributes to both the rational-actor model and spatial leadership model which measures differential changes in foreign policy decision-making across regimes. The model is a major contribution to the development of viable analysis in changing foreign policy in emerging nations and is an enduring contribution to the modern foreign analysis. This article is an interesting and exciting addition to this model. It also contributes to the discourse on domestic issues that determine political behavior in international affairs. In particular, it discusses the subtleties of presidential power and demonstrates that in the case of Zambia, changes in foreign policy decisions across regimes are mediated by the intervention and personal interests of the president and the influence of the governing parties.

Abstract

Decolonisation of academia has become a 'vogue' among scholars, students and activists, which has resulted in many publications on decolonisation. Unlike the social sciences, the online world and digital data have not received much attention from decolonial scholars. Digital data colonialism combines historical colonialism's predatory aspect and computer science ability to quantify and commodify online relations. The organisations responsible for digital data colonialism are big tech companies and powerful Western countries' intelligence agencies. Tech companies gather digital data and sell it for profit to big businesses. While, intelligence agencies of powerful Western gather digital data and use it for national interest and securitisation of populations under the banner of fighting terrorism, which reproduces non-Western countries' coloniality. This paper discusses the coloniality of non-Western countries by powerful Western countries through the use of digital data colonialism, which is carried out by their inelegance agencies and Western tech companies.

Abstract

As South Sudan emerges from a brutal conflict, the 2018 Agreement mandates the Government to initiate and adopt a federal system of government through a new constitutional dispensation during the Transitional Period (2020-2024). The central issue in this paper revolves around the nature of the federal system that South Sudan should adopt to govern itself. The paper finds that while the federalism debate has historical pedigree in the political thought among the people of the Republic of South Sudan, the type of federal system to be adopted lies in the discretion of the framers. In light of this and having regard to global practice and experience of federal systems, the federal system in South Sudan should be guided by several factors such as management of ethnic conflicts, cultural compatibility, economic viability of constituent units, territoriality, and population sizes.

Abstract

Street littering has known to be a global phenomenon over the years. The intensity of littering varies across societies and age groups. This study on street littering is centered around youth. The objectives cover two aspects: exploring factors affecting street littering behavior in Sri Lanka and suggesting policy implications. The study adopted quantitative methods based on deductive reasoning approach. Data was collected as survey research using the simple random sampling technique. 315 youth were selected out of the total youth population in Colombo, Sri Lanka in 2022. Analysis of data was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Analytical tools such as Pearson correlation, analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent sample t-test, and chi-square test were used. The study found to have a strong association between street littering behavior and two critical factors; visibility of litter and group behavior which corresponded with social psychological theories namely theory of deindividuation and theory of social comparison. A significant association with age and education was also indicated against street littering behavior while a weak relationship was noticed between environmental factors. The study suggests policymakers to focus on urgent and long-term sustainable solutions. Short term recommendations include positive and negative reinforcement strategies. The long-term sustainable solutions are proposed to make self-transformations within youth via attitudinal changes. Among the social science researchers in Sri Lanka, ‘Street littering behavior’ is considered an under-researched area. Hence this study provides both academic and empirical implications. Future research can be extended both locally and globally by comparing different demographic variables and changing the research study contexts within the same theme.

Abstract

The purpose of research is to study the influence of corruption and other factors on the presence of young people in formal politics. The motivation for the study of this issue was the decrease in the representation of youth in the traditional district and republican parliaments due to the existence of different determinants. Such a decrease, as a rule, affects the socio-economic indicators of most countries, since it is the youth who are the socially active, able-bodied segment of the population, whose support young people must find from the youth parliament representing their interests and needs. Corruption is considered to be the main reason for this decline. To prevent this, asian states such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand and South Korea introduced institutional measures in the form of establishing an anti-corruption agency or other developed and developing countries carried out legislative anti-corruption reforms, which, on the contrary, led to counter productiveness due to excessive regulation. Thus, we will check whether the factor of corruption is indeed a significant variable influencing the presence of young people in parliament or whether the existence of other factors is more important. To test the main hypothesis, namely the negative relationship between the factor of corruption and the share of youth in parliament, we have analysed data from 90 countries based on the regression analysis method. The results showed that corruption is not a statistically significant variable, i.e., it does not have a significant impact on the political presence of young people in politics. The education factor showed a statistically significant result, which is logical since politically educated young people are most often active in politics, as a rule they become potential candidates for deputies either through youth wings or through non-state youth associations. Therefore, it seems important in public policy to increase political competitiveness to develop the potential of education.

Abstract

The fishing community is a community that is strongly dependent on the sustainability of marine natural resources. Indonesia is the largest archipelagic country in the world and has a wealth of marine economic potential. Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City is located on Banten’s North Coast which has a fairly good marine potential and has a National Fishing Port (PPN) which is a type B fishing port in Banten Province. These advantages were why PPN Karangantu was appointed as a fisheries industrial area (formerly a minapolitan) for the catch fisheries subsector since 2010. However, facts show that this potential is still not well-managed and thus does not yet have a significant effect on improving the fishing community’s welfare. Until this article was written, poverty and the fishermen remains an unresolved issue. To resolve the problem there needs to be a collaboration between multiple actors: the government, the private sector, the public communities, and the fishing community should work together and encourage policies regarding the coastal community economic empowerment through the development of a mutually profitable fishermen group joint business endeavor which would have a significant effect on the people's welfare, especially the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City. The present study is a descriptive qualitative study. Data were collected in three ways: interviews, observations, and documentation. The data analysis for both primary and secondary data was conducted with the Nvivo 12 Pro software. The study results indicated potentials that could significantly improve the economy of the fishing community in Karangantu Coastal Area, Serang City, especially in the fisheries and tourism sectors. However, this can only be realized if there is a collaboration between actors, including the central and regional government, business actors, environmental NGOs, and the fishing community.
