Abstract

This article explores the nuanced theories of societal decline offered by Ibn Khaldun, Arnold Toynbee, and G.W.F. Hegel, each providing unique insights into the mechanisms of civilizational collapse. Ibn Khaldun’s concept of Asabiyyah underscores the role of social cohesion in sustaining a society, arguing that its weakening leads to internal fragmentation and eventual decline. On the other hand, Toynbee focuses on the failure of ruling elites to creatively respond to external challenges, such as environmental changes or military threats, viewing their rigidity as a critical factor in societal disintegration. Hegel presents a more philosophical perspective, framing decline as an integral phase in the dialectical process, where contradictions within a society propel it toward transformation and higher stages of development. By examining the interplay of moral, cultural, and political forces in these theories, the article sheds light on how different frameworks conceptualize rise and fall dynamics across civilizations, offering a comparative lens to understand historical patterns and contemporary challenges.

Abstract

The role of international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) in preserving and advancing public health across the world cannot be overemphasized. One of such significant efforts is poliomyelitis eradication programs. As a deadly communicable disease, the global spread of poliomyelitis has attracted pragmatic interventions from several INGOs. The first global initiative to eradicate the disease was the “PolioPlus” program introduced by Rotary International (RI) in 1985. Despite the RI’s pivotal role in the fight against poliomyelitis, little or no research has been conducted towards unravelling the organization’s efforts in Nigeria. This paper investigated the role of Rotary Clubs in eradicating poliomyelitis in rural communities of Ogun State from 1985 to 2019 using historical research design. The study found that notwithstanding the challenges, Rotary Clubs have played significant role in eradicating poliomyelitis from Ogun State through continuous advocacy and sensitization campaigns, mobilization, polio surveillance, funding, and partnership. It concludes that there is the need for this organization to consolidate on the successes recorded thus far in order to achieve a total eradication of poliomyelitis in the world.

Abstract

West Africa faces an extremely high terrorist threat. The dramatic increase in terrorist activity in the sub region is primarily due to two groups: Jama'at Nusrat al Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM) and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS). Although the territorial presence and activity of Al-Qaida and its affiliates (particularly Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM)) was initially limited to the extreme north of Mali, it has now expanded across large areas of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger. The growing strength of ISIL in West Africa has compounded the terrorist threat and contributed to the deteriorating security situation in the subregion. The current article therefore presents an assessment of the history and causes of radicalisation in West Africa based on the previous literatures. The methodology employed in this work was desk-based and library-oriented research. Desk research, also known as secondary research or library research, is a method of gathering information and insights by analyzing and synthesizing existing data and sources rather than conducting primary data collection through fieldwork or surveys. The findings indicate that it is difficult to identify a single reason that can sufficiently explain the existence of radicalisation in any particular country or region, and West Africa is no exception. However, through the findings it was concluded that factors such as political repression, widespread corruption in governance, dysfunctional governments and available large number of unemployed youth were key causes. It is suggested that ECOWAS makes great progress in issues relating to conflict management and prevention with the introduction of some protocols. For instance, Article 3 of ECOWAS Protocol relating to the mechanism for Conflict Prevention, Management, Resolution and Security outlines fighting terrorism and radicalisation as one of its objectives.

Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges worldwide, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities, particularly indigenous groups who are closely tied to their natural environments. This study focuses on assessing the impact of climate change on the Garo community in Gazirbhita Union, Haluaghat Upazila, Mymensingh. The research aims to explore the multifaceted effects of climate change on the socio-economic, cultural, and environmental aspects of the Garo people. Using a sample size of 95 respondents, qualitative and quantitative methods are employed to gather insights into their experiences, traditional knowledge, and adaptive strategies. The findings reveal that climate-induced changes, such as erratic rainfall, rising temperatures, and increased frequency of extreme weather events, have significantly affected agriculture, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Furthermore, the community's indigenous knowledge and resilience play a pivotal role in adaptation, yet these strategies face challenges due to limited resources and external pressures. This research underscores the urgent need for inclusive policies that integrate indigenous knowledge into climate adaptation strategies and enhance the Garo community’s resilience to future climate shocks.

Abstract

This paper explores the complex security challenges Japan faces in response to North Korea’s advancing weapons program and the implications for regional stability in East Asia. North Korea’s growing missile and nuclear capabilities pose significant threats, driving Japan to reconsider its security policies within the constraints of its pacifist constitution and longstanding U.S. alliance. This study analyzes Japan's adaptations to its Self-Defense Forces, increased defense spending, and enhanced missile defense systems as part of a strategic shift toward greater security autonomy. In a comparative analysis, Japan’s approach is evaluated alongside the security frameworks of South Korea and the United States, while considering the roles of China and Russia as influential regional actors. The study follows a qualitative framework based on secondary data. Policy recommendations emphasize the need for strategic flexibility, advancements in missile defense technology, and multilateral collaboration with allies. Long-term implications underscore how North Korea’s militarization could reshape the geopolitical landscape, necessitating a proactive, cooperative approach to maintain regional stability and deter potential conflict. This analysis offers insights into future directions for Japanese security policy and highlights areas for further research, including the impact of North Korea’s internal policies on regional security dynamics.

Abstract

In this article efforts have been made to revisit the Karbala poem of Raghunath Choudhary analyzing its literary view, elegy and tragedy, political consequences and human rights violation. Moreover, I have tried to introduce briefly about the writer of the poetry book, the characters and personalities mentioned in the poems. The tragedy of Karbala was an unfortunate incident that took place in 61 AH yet it is still fresh in the minds of the Muslims and affected Muslims deeply. Indeed, there have been extra-historical folklore and myth about the story of Karbala and Hasan-Hussain have been running in the Muslim society for a long time. Many poems, stories, plays, etc. have also been written on that incident since the tragedy happened. Although there is a same shadow of history in these narratives but the body is almost different. Some unsubstantiated information of the history is also included in his poems but the core and most of the events are purely factual. It is acknowledged that History and poetry are not the same things. Poetry is undoubtedly blossomed from the poet's imagination. The poet Raghunath Choudhary's "Karbala" is also the poem created based on the poet's feelings and history.

Abstract

    The Muhyiddin Mala, as the first text in the genre of Malappattu, not only serves as an historical exemplar marking the transition from classical Arabic forms to vernacular expressions, but also demonstrate the ‘transplantation’ process of a revered spiritual figure into a distinct socio-political environment. Typically revolving around the personality and virtues of Sheikh Abdul Qadir al-Jilani, who was the most influential Sufi figure in the whole Indian oceanic region that extends from Cairo to Java, Muhyiddin Malas draw up on the medieval tradition of tying both past and present upon to the perfect, central person of a time. This paper tries to explore some of the overlooked varieties of Muhyiddin Malas in the Keralite region, that too were of prime role in the rejuvenation of communal cohesion in the region, particularly among the Mappilas, who presumably suffered the worst part of the colonial ‘Divide and Rule' policy. The researcher tends to make use of elaborated descriptions of the historical and socio-political contexts in which the mala literature found its way to popularity, particularly against the backdrop of the repressive imperialism and divisive colonialism. The paper also tries to shed light upon how the Muhyiddin Malas & have become to influence the ordinary lifestyles and day-to-day lives of the Mappila population.

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected and technologically advanced world, the domain of space has emerged as a critical frontier for both national security and international cooperation (Johnson, 2019). However, as nations expand their presence in space, the risks and challenges associated with ensuring security in this domain have become more pronounced (Fountain, 2020). This research article examines the modern security dilemma through the lens of space security, exploring the complexities, tensions, and opportunities that arise as states navigate the dual imperatives of safeguarding their interests while promoting stability and cooperation in outer space (Weeden & Sampson, 2021). By analyzing current trends, emerging threats, and potential pathways for collaboration, this article seeks to provide insights and recommendations for addressing the space security dilemma in the future world.

Abstract

In Abrahamic tradition, the question of God’s relationship with body, space and direction is an inescapable philosophical and theological issue and Islam is not an exception. The Central text of Islam, Quran, contains verses that anthropomorphically attributes “hands”, “eyes”, “face” “establishment upon throne” referencing God. These verses have for centuries sparked among the Muslim philosophers and theologians, centuries of debate; leading to diverse interpretations and theological schools of thought. Ibn Taymiyyah and Fahr al-Din al-Rāzī are two of those prominent figures who also debated this issue. Ibn Taymiyyah takes the relational ontology of space and doesn't negate the prediction of the body to God. On the other hand, Fahr al-Dīn al-Rāzī an Ash’ari theologian negates all kinds of anthropomorphic attribution for God. This paper presents Ibn Taymiyyah’s position on God's body and his conflict with Ash’ari scholar Fahr al-Dīn al-Rāzī.
