Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor sumber daya dan kinerja dalam menopang kemenangan incumbent dan untuk mengetahui pergeseran meningkatnya kedudukan incumbent yang digunakan selama tiga periode dalam pemilihan kepala desa di Desa Bulutengger Kecamatan Sekaran Kabupaten Lamongan. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Landasan teori yang digunakan dalam menganalisis penelitian adalah teori yang dikemukakan oleh Jonathan Katz dan Gary Cox mengenai faktor sumber daya dan kinerja sebagai penyebab meningkatnya kedudukan incumbent. Faktor sumber daya berasal dari hubungan personal melalui sumber daya ekonomi, jaringan sosial, jaringan keagamaan, dan politik patronase. Sedangkan kinerja berasal dari pengalaman selama memimpin desa sehingga incumbent dinilai kompeten dalam menjalankan tugas dan tanggung jawabnya. Berdasarkan data di lapangan, kehadiran incumbent sebagai pemimpin sempat terusik oleh kandidat penantang, sehingga beredar berita hoax yang ditujukan kepala kepala desa incumbent menjelang kontestasi pada periode ketiga, namun hal tersebut tidak memberikan pengaruh besar atas perolehan suara karena kepala desa incumbent menang mutlak pada pemilihan kepala desa.

Pendapat ini merujuk pada peran panti asuhan sebagai yayasan atau komunitas, yang berjuang untuk memulihkan hak-hak anak terlantar. Penulis ingin mengkontruksikan tentang bagaimana konsepsi dan praktik khusus apa yang ada di belakang hubungan antara warga dengan negara, dengan melihat realitas panti asuhan dalam upaya pemulihan hak anak terlantar. Kajian kewargaan kritis awalnya hanya berfokus pada riset tentang status legal seseorang atau kelompok sebagai anggota dari suatu komunitas. Dalam perkembangannya, fokus tersebut telah bergeser kepada perjuangan politik yang memproduksi kategori-kategori itu. Menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif melalui penelitian di lapangan.

Abstract

Boko Haram insurgency in the North East Nigeria has posed significant challenges to the protection of children's rights.  Adopting the child right- based theory, the paper investigated how Boko Haram insurgency violated children’s rights in the region. Desk research method which relied on secondary sources was employed.  It argued that insurgency by Boko Haram sect violated children’s rights in the region in form of recruitment of child soldiers, sexual violence, abduction, denial of access to education and healthcare. The paper discusses the causes of the conflict, including poverty, marginalization, lack of access to education and economic opportunities, as well as their implications for children's rights. The paper also assesses the response of the Nigerian government and the international community to the crisis, including military operations against Boko Haram, efforts to rehabilitate and reintegrate former child soldiers, and initiatives to promote peace, reconciliation, and development in the region. While acknowledging some progress in addressing the crisis, the paper highlights ongoing challenges, including the need for greater protection of children's rights, increased access to education and healthcare, and addressing the root causes of the conflict. It recommended protection mechanisms, promoting peace and reconciliation, and addressing the underlying factors driving insurgency in order to ensure the realization of children's rights in the region

Abstract

Protestantism is often exemplified as a religion for metropolitans; however, gaining prominence among upland dwellers in peripheral areas like remote borderlands when it was introduced to Vietnam. Generally, such peripheral areas caused less concern for the State of Vietnam in peaceful times and held little significance in the national development as well as in the national religious and cultural landscape. Nevertheless, the emergence of Protestantism there led to a series of relevant issues that seemed to forcefully compel the State’s concern. The article attempts to provide a map of the Protestant expansion in the Vietnamese peripheral borderlands over time, focusing on the period from the 1990s onward. It then emphasizes certain challenges that the pervasiveness of Protestantism in the peripheral areas may have posed to the State of Vietnam during the process of renovating society. The research further argues that the involvement of Protestant-related factors in cultural, economic, and political realms in the peripheral borderlands in Vietnam could be a point for geopolitical forces to exploit and foster the rise of peripheral nationalism there, which in turn would become greater testing to the nation-state’s efforts in keeping total control over its territory and society.

Abstract

Strengthened security architecture of any nation is dependent on the ability to ensure safe and well-defined borders. Border security is central to national security as the first line of defence against threats. In Nigeria, borders are sources of the unending insecurity, being one of the most porous in Africa. Thus, the study, descriptive in nature, examined border security and herdsmen terrorism in northern Nigeria. It adopted securitisation theory as its theoretical framework and relied heavily on secondary data. The study argued that Nigeria’s borders are susceptible to criminal infiltration due to poor management. This had heightened ruthless killings and destruction of properties by herdsmen in northern Nigeria. The borders, demarcated by expired tires, blocks, and sticks, are manned by unqualified, inadequately equipped, and corrupt personnel and allow herdsmen terrorists to constantly enjoy free movement into the nation, becoming a threat to security, peace, and stability. The study concluded that if Nigeria’s borders are not securitised as a high priority, state authority will be weakened and sovereignty will wane continuously. The study therefore recommended that borders should be properly policed with adequate provisions for advanced surveillance technology installed at all border areas, and international cooperation should be encouraged in the fight against herdsmen terrorism.

Abstract

Elections are a key feature of democratic states, serving as a legal mechanism to fill political positions based on the people's choices. In practice, the credibility of election management bodies largely depends on accurate and transparent data management. This study explores the use of the Rumah Data (Data Center), an initiative by the East Java Provincial Bawaslu, as a tool to support election oversight, with a focus on Bawaslu of Bojonegoro Regency. The research addresses a gap in existing studies, which have mostly examined the Siwaslu application developed by the national Bawaslu, whereas Rumah Data represents a regional innovation. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through interviews, documentation, and literature review. The findings reveal that Rumah Data plays a strategic role in enhancing transparency, accountability, and the effectiveness of election monitoring. The study recommends strengthening human resources and digital system development to optimize Rumah Data in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the dynamics of nationalization policy in Tanzania during the early post-independence years using a theory of neopatrimonialism. Building on Bratton and van de Walle’s identification of presidentialism, clientelism, and the particularistic use of state resources as hallmarks of neo-patrimonial governance, this study explores how these characteristics shaped the industrial policy during the “socialist Tanzania”. By focusing on the period between 1967 and 1985, the study traces the early industry boom from 1961 to 1968 and the subsequent de-industrialization period. I argue that the concentration of power in the presidency of Julius Nyerere and his State Party resulted in inefficiencies within the nationalized industrial sector. The study highlights that the nationalization policy produced an oversized, poorly adapted industrial base that failed to align with Tanzania’s resource and skills environment. Ultimately, this governance structure contributed to the crisis of the 1970s. The findings suggest that while nationalization initially promised rapid industrial transformation, it was undermined by neopatrimonial tendencies, prompting a later shift to market-oriented reforms. The study contributes to broader debates on state-building, industrial policy, and the legacies of postcolonial governance in Africa.

Abstract

China–Nigeria relations have expanded significantly between 2015 and 2025, with important implications for Nigeria’s democratic stability in the Fourth Republic. This study examines the political, economic, and governance dimensions of the partnership, focusing on how Chinese investments and strategic engagements have shaped Nigeria’s democratic processes. China’s involvement is most visible in infrastructure, trade, digital technology, and security cooperation, presenting an alternative to Western aid that typically carries political conditions. While these engagements help address infrastructure deficits and stimulate economic growth, they also raise concerns about governance transparency, accountability, and civil liberties. Risks include opaque loan agreements, elite capture of Chinese-funded projects, and the spread of digital surveillance technologies that may reinforce authoritarian practices. The research further shows how Nigerian elites exploit Chinese partnerships as political capital, showcasing infrastructure projects to consolidate legitimacy during elections. Overall, the findings suggest that China–Nigeria relations create both opportunities for economic transformation and challenges for democratic governance, with Nigeria’s long-term stability hinging on balancing cooperation benefits with institutional safeguards.

Abstract

The study examines the role of Rational Choice Theory (RCT) in understanding the frequent party switching among Nigerian politicians. It explores the motivations behind these defections, assesses their impact on political stability, governance, and democratic consolidation, and identifies policy recommendations for strengthening political party structures and reducing opportunistic defections. Relying on secondary sources of information and using RCT as a theoretical framework, the study argues that Nigerian politicians often engage in defections based on calculated self-interest, seeking electoral advantage, financial benefits, and political survival rather than ideological realignment. The study further reveals that frequent party defections have contributed to political instability, weakened governance, and slowed democratic development by fostering policy inconsistency, undermining institutional trust, and encouraging voter apathy. To address these challenges, the study proposes policy reforms, including stricter enforcement of anti-defection laws, internal party democracy, ideological reorientation, financial regulation of party politics, and enhanced civic education. The findings highlight the need for systemic reforms to promote a more stable, ideology-driven political system that enhances democratic consolidation in Nigeria.

Abstract

The conceptual categories of the Nile River and the Indian Ocean have historically been treated as timeless, fixed geographical truths. This rarely contested assumption stems from mainstream historiography, which privileges written records and is essentially Western in its orientation. This dominant narrative typically traces the Nile from a singular point, such as Egypt, and similarly provincializes India in the Indian Ocean discourse, effectively silencing indigenous African actors in the interoceanic space. This article argues that such historiography, which attempts to provincialize specific geographical categories and impose a hegemonic Western power structure upon them, is insufficient for explaining the complex dynamics of space and power prior to Western hegemony. Despite the apparent fixity of these two aquatic spaces, they contain alternative, suppressed, or denied definitions that persist through the epistemological protest of oral literacy and tradition. By conceptualizing space before Western hegemony, this study offers an alternative framework for understanding issues of identity that are often narrowly defined by the modern state
