Abstract

Well-regulated education is a powerful weapon for positive social change. Ethiopia formally allowed private actors to join the education industry in 2003. Since then private higher education institutions have grown in number and enrolling capacity. This is a huge success in ensuring access to higher education to support country development through the provision of skilled manpower. However, because of weak regulation, there is a claim that private higher education institutions are working as a degree mill which negatively impacts the quality and relevancy of higher education. Having this in mind, this article examines the effectiveness of government regulation of private higher education institutions during the entry, operation and exit stages. To this end, relevant laws and policies, reports, government decisions, and literature are critically examined sideline with primary data collected through case studies and direct observation of private higher education institutions. As the findings of the study have revealed, despite the positive reform and development underway, the government regulation of private higher education institutions is ineffective and because of this, education which is recognized as a means of ruining social problems is ruined by bogus institutions and degrees. Mainly this problem is associated not with normative gaps; rather it is a result of weak enforcement as a result of the institutional weakness of relevant authority to efficiently undertake its mandate of licensing, accrediting, supervising, monitoring, and auditing. Besides, the government lacks a firm stand and strong commitment to take deterring measures against bogus institutions and graduates holding fake degrees. Based on the findings, the researcher called for strict enforcement of laws by strengthening the Authority with manpower and finance and adopting a holistic approach to fighting for the quality and relevancy of higher education.

Abstract

This paper examines Nigeria foreign policy and business ethics, particularly its bilateral relations with China between 1990s and 2020. It further explores China’s interest in the oil sector. It argues that China’s quest for oil security has attracted it to many African countries. Although, Nigeria and China diplomatic relations began in February 1971, its relations were not sealed until 1999, when the military surrendered power to a democratically elected government. It explains that a number of bilateral agreements between the two countries endured China’s readiness to finance infrastructural development in Nigeria. This paper further evaluates the economic and trade links between the two countries and its impact on Nigeria economic performance. With the use of appropriate statistical data, integration of primary and secondary sources, the paper addresses the security challenges to China’s quest to penetrate Nigeria’s oil sector in the Niger Delta. It concludes that since China is the second largest importer of crude oil in the world, there is urgent need for Nigerian government to re-direct its foreign policy in order to ensure smooth relations with China. This would to a large extent enhance the acceleration of socio-economic development of the oil producing communities in Niger Delta and the country at large.

Abstract

Great powers within the global system are deemed to be financially and militarily powerful to stand behind the multilateral institutions as sentinel and use such as a tool of achieving national interests. In this case, most researchers have toed such a line of reasoning while sidelining the role regional powers could also play in multilateral intuitions at regional and sub-regional levels. The current research, therefore, queries the role of regional hegemony in the employment of multilateral institutions in achieving foreign policy goals. It seeks to provide basic elements underlining the involvement of Nigeria in international organizations. As Nigeria conducts most of its external relations through multilateral diplomacy, it is imperative to provide a conceptual basis upon which such a role can be defined. In doing this we present the contemporary case study of Nigeria’s involvement in Mail to buttress our claim. The article relies on the theoretical precept of Regional Security Complex which emphasizes the role of state actors in the multilateral institutions to stem the tides of regional insecurity. In addition, the study uses newspapers, textbooks, speeches, archival records, articles in journals, and internet sources. In utilizing all these data sources, the use of latent content analysis and textual mining in interpreting and analyzing the data is upheld. Thus, the research found that Nigeria needs to be more proactive and assertive in Africa’s regional institutions in order to mitigate the insecurity issue in West Africa. The research, therefore, concludes that Nigeria, as the sole regional power in West Africa, needs to act fast to prevent the total collapse of security architecture in West Africa and the Sahel.

Abstract

The dowry traditions has been in existence for a long time and is difficult to eradicate, serving as a symbol for the bride who will become a member of her husband's family. Over time, the basic essence and amount of dowry have changed. If the groom's family is not satisfied with the dowry given, it can lead to violence or even murder. The research method used is qualitative. This study aims to find out the problem of dowry death in India and the collaboration of UN Women and the Government of India in dealing with the problem of dowry death. The Indian government has also begun to think step by step that dealing with this case is still difficult to overcome, because the patriarchal culture is still strong. This study analyzes UN Women's cooperation with NGOs to deal with the dowry death problem. In 2019-2022, dowry death cases in India have started to decrease significantly. Although there are still many women who are not brave enough to report dowry violence.

Abstract

This paper investigates the internal restructuring of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) under Xi Jinping’s leadership and its influence on policy-making and foreign policy behavior. Drawing on an integrated theoretical framework that combines the Bureaucratic Politics Model and Two-Level Game Theory, the study examines how China's increasingly centralized political architecture allows for a more coherent implementation of policies from the top down. The paper argues that the restructuring of the CCP through the consolidation of decision-making power within the Politburo Standing Committee, the elevation of Party-led commissions, and the expanding control over state bureaucracies not only enhance administrative efficiency but also to strategically align domestic priorities with China’s international ambitions. Domestic economic policies, often managed by Party-led bureaucracies, now function as instruments of external leverage. This analysis contributes to a more nuanced understanding of China's domestic–international policy nexus, particularly how centralized authority and controlled bureaucratic channels reduce fragmentation in domestic preferences, thereby shaping China’s negotiation behavior, strategic signaling, and foreign policy consistency.
