Abstract

This article delves into the phenomenon of rising populism in global politics, offering a comprehensive examination of its causes, consequences, and potential solutions. Populism, characterized by its appeal to the sentiments and concerns of ordinary citizens, has gained significant traction in various regions around the world. By exploring the underlying drivers, such as economic inequality, cultural shifts, and the erosion of trust in traditional political institutions, we aim to shed light on the roots of this trend. Furthermore, we analyze the far-reaching consequences of populism, including its impact on democratic norms, international relations, and policy outcomes. Lastly, this article outlines potential strategies and solutions for addressing the challenges posed by populism, emphasizing the importance of fostering inclusive political discourse, reinforcing democratic institutions, and promoting evidence-based policymaking. In an era marked by populist surges, this research provides valuable insights for policymakers, scholars, and citizens alike, aiming to contribute to a more informed and constructive dialogue on the future of global politics.

Abstract

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the delicate equilibrium between security imperatives and the protection of individual privacy is under intense scrutiny. This abstract explores the multifaceted challenges posed by the proliferation of surveillance technologies and their impact on human rights. As governments and corporations harness the power of surveillance for security purposes, concerns over privacy violations, data breaches, and potential abuses of power have come to the forefront. This abstract delves into the evolving legal and ethical frameworks governing surveillance practices, highlighting key debates and global perspectives. It also examines the implications for fundamental human rights such as freedom of expression, privacy, and assembly. By examining case studies, emerging technologies, and international efforts to strike a balance between security and privacy, this abstract seeks to shed light on the complex dynamics of this contemporary issue and proposes potential avenues for reconciling these often conflicting interests. Ultimately, it calls for a thoughtful and inclusive dialogue that can guide the development of responsible surveillance policies that respect individual rights and uphold the principles of a free and democratic society.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has successfully registered itself among the league of global epidemics that the world is currently battling. The virus, which emerged in December 2019 in China, quickly spread worldwide, paralysing socioeconomic, political, and cultural activities around the globe. Nigeria is one of the African countries that is most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, especially socioeconomically and politically. Although the pattern of spread in the country indicates a higher incidence in the South than in Northern Nigeria, some factors made the case in Northern Nigeria an interesting study. The study is an examination of the challenges that influenced the process of administering the COVID-19 vaccine in Northeast Nigeria. The study used a quantitative phenomenological study as a methodology. Data were collected from selected informants with relevant and valuable information on the subject matter in the area of study. The data obtained were analysed and interpreted using content analysis. Culture, religion, and perception, in addition to the attitude of the political class, all contributed to the negative perception of COVID-19 as a pandemic and its vaccine as a preventive measure. Most of the inhabitants of Northeast Nigeria are found to have harboured negative thoughts against the Virus and its vaccination because of some reported cases of side effects and the way the politicians turned the pandemic into a racket of money-making. The study recommends, among others, that royal fathers, religious clerics, and opinion moulders should be rigorously engaged in a massive campaign to disabuse all negative perceptions and to convince the populace on safety and prevention.

Abstract

In the digital age, the potential of social media as a powerful tool for the dissemination of religious teachings is paramount. Dawah, the process of conveying religious values to align a Muslim's behavior with the principles of Islam, offers a means to promote Islam as a religion of mercy and guidance for all of humanity. Dawah involves several key elements, including the da'i (the one conveying the message), maddah (the content), thariqah (the method), washilah (the medium), and mad'u (the recipient), all working together to achieve the ultimate goal of Dawah: to bring about happiness in this world and the Hereafter. The purpose of Dawah is to foster understanding, awareness, appreciation, and recognition of Islam, as exemplified by the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In the modern era, social media platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp have emerged as powerful tools for spreading the message of Islam without constraints of time and space, providing an excellent opportunity to reach a diverse global audience and promote Islamic teachings effectively. This study employed qualitative research methods, including content analysis, to assess the effectiveness and reach of Dawah efforts through social media, shedding light on the significant role of these platforms in contemporary religious communication.

Abstract

Centuries ago, Eurocentric ideas asserted Europe's centrality in world history, positing Western civilization as the inevitable guide for humanity. However, postcolonial theorists from the late twentieth century critically challenged Eurocentrism, arguing against its biased categorization of 'others' at the margins of global history. Through key postcolonial historical writings, these scholars have deeply probed Eurocentric understandings, striving to decentralize Europe's narrative in three main fields: Subaltern studies, Orientalism, and Race. To enhance the breadth and depth of this critique, the present research employs a rigorous historical research methodology. In Subaltern studies, primary sources and oral histories are meticulously examined to recover the voices of marginalized groups, contributing to a nuanced understanding of historical events. Orientalism is scrutinized through the analysis of historical texts, artworks, and cultural artifacts, revealing the constructed nature of Eurocentric interpretations. The study of Race involves archival research and critical analysis of historical documents to trace the evolution of racial ideologies. By applying these historical research methods, this study aims to extend the postcolonial critique beyond theoretical discourse, emphasizing its engagement with historical realities obscured by Eurocentric perspectives. The research seeks to underscore the significance of a methodologically rigorous approach in reshaping historical narratives, acknowledging the integral role of non-European nations in shaping the course of history and fostering a more inclusive historiography.

Abstract

This paper provides a sociological perspective on urban gentrification and its societal implications, employing a research method that primarily involves an extensive literature study. Gentrification, characterized by the influx of more affluent residents into previously disadvantaged urban neighborhoods, is a multifaceted phenomenon with significant social, economic, and cultural consequences. Drawing on sociological theories and empirical research from existing literature, the study examines the drivers and consequences of gentrification, exploring issues such as housing affordability, displacement, social demographics, and the dynamics of urban change. It also considers how gentrification both perpetuates and alleviates social inequalities, emphasizing the importance of inclusive urban development policies and community-based initiatives to address the challenges and opportunities that gentrification presents in contemporary cities.

Abstract

This research examines the complex relationship between environmental governance, sustainable development, and the role of government institutions in Bangladesh. The study extensively examines the evolution of environmental governance, focusing on the establishment and functions of key institutions such as the Ministry of Environment and Forests, the Department of Environment, the Department of Forest, the Bangladesh Water Development Board, the Forest Research Institute, etc. Relying solely on secondary sources, the methodology involved a comprehensive review and analysis of scholarly literature, policy documents, and reports to explore the nation's environmental trajectory. The findings underscore the commendable socio-economic progress achieved by Bangladesh compared to pressing environmental challenges. Rising carbon emissions, limited forest coverage, water resource mismanagement, and threats to biodiversity underscore the urgency for balanced and sustainable development. Government institutions, through policy formulation, implementation, research, and conservation efforts, play pivotal roles in addressing these challenges. However, the research highlights the imperative for a paradigm shift, emphasizing the need to integrate environmental considerations into development policies comprehensively. Bridging the gap between economic growth and environmental sustainability requires concerted efforts, policy reforms, and public engagement. This study emphasizes the pivotal role of government institutions, collaborative efforts, and policy reforms in leading the nation towards a more sustainable future.

Abstract

This study investigates the pivotal role of police leadership in mitigating cultural diversity gaps within the Luhonono Police Station, utilizing an exploratory qualitative approach. The study's sample comprises four police leaders with station experience and five non-management police officers. Data collection involves individual semi-structured interviews, recorded to aid data interpretation, with thematic analysis employed for data analysis. The findings underscore the significance of effective police leadership in improving relationships, minimizing turnover, ensuring fairness in decision-making, enhancing performance, and motivating the police force. The study recommends that the selection of police leaders should prioritize their commitment to embracing cultural diversity. Furthermore, it advocates for the development of policies supporting cultural diversity, provision of training, and promotion of awareness among the team to foster an inclusive and respectful workplace. The study argues that, although police leaders play a pivotal role in addressing cultural diversity, their effectiveness is impeded without standardized institutional policies or strategies to manage such issues.
