Abstract

The post-colonial African society is inarguably disposed to internal conflicts, most of which have resulted to full-brown civil wars. The major causes of some of these conflicts have been traced to the events that happened during colonial rule, such as implantation and promotion of ethnic and religious consciousness among the people by the European colonialists. Most perturbing is the fact that colonial legacies in the continent continue to dominate post-independence relationship, and weakened cohesion and unity among the diverse nationalities in African society. Solutions to these delusions propagated, first, by the European colonial masters, and now by Africans against Africans, have defied meaningful solutions as conflict persists in most countries in Africa. It is on these conditions that this study interrogates the similarities in the causes of conflicts and wars in post-colonial Africa, and how these conflicts affect development. Qualitative inquiry was adopted as the study’s research design. The study relied extensively on secondary sources of data such as textbooks, journal articles, dailies, periodicals, internet materials, among others. Failed-State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework.  The Study suggests among others that Africa post-colonial states should assiduously delink from their self-notions of colonial legacies and embrace the reality of their internal polities. Africa should also shun self-imposed ethnic consciousness and other internal factors causing conflicts and wars. Fairness and equity in distribution of commonwealth should be prioritised in order to prevent issue of sectional marginalisation that is consistently one of the major factors promoting conflict in African States.

Abstract

Foreign aid has remained a crucial component of international development cooperation, especially for developing countries like Nigeria. Since the return to democratic governance in 1999 (the Fourth Republic), Nigeria has witnessed a steady inflow of foreign assistance to address developmental challenges and support socio-economic growth. This study examined the effects of foreign aid on national development in Nigeria during the Fourth Republic, focusing on sectors such as health, education, and infrastructure. With a growing inflow of foreign assistance since 1999, especially following the Paris Club debt relief in 2005, Nigeria has received substantial aid from bilateral and multilateral donors. This study used a historical research design, with content analysis applied for data evaluation. It focuses on thoroughly reviewing documented information, from which relevant materials were extracted for analysis. The study was anchored on the Dependency Theory, which argues that foreign aid, while beneficial, can perpetuate dependency if not managed properly. It further explores the role of institutional capacity, governance, and corruption in determining the success of aid projects. The data collected for this study were synthesized and analyzed using trend analysis techniques. The findings reveal that foreign aid has contributed positively to Nigeria’s health, education, and infrastructure sectors. However, systemic challenges, including weak governance, corruption, and poor coordination among stakeholders, have undermined the effectiveness of aid. The study concluded that despite the potential of foreign aid to stimulate national development, its impact is often hindered by governance deficiencies and institutional inefficiencies. Finally, this study recommended, among others, that the government should strengthen institutional capacity and governance by prioritizing training, capacity-building initiatives, and the creation of clear accountability structures to ensure effective utilization of foreign assistance.

Abstract

The digitalization era demands transformation in customer complaint handling for public service companies, including PDAMs that face challenges in responsiveness and service quality. This study aims to analyze customer complaint handling strategies at PDAM Tirta Danau Tempe in Wajo Regency based on Fandy Tjiptono's service quality dimensions. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews and SWOT analysis, the research involved PDAM staff and customers as informants. Data were analyzed using the Miles-Huberman interactive model to identify complaint handling strategies through four indicators: empathy toward customers, handling speed, fairness in problem-solving, and ease of communication access. Results show that PDAM has implemented an integrated digital system for payments and complaints that is superior to other PDAMs, but still faces challenges in responsiveness, unstable water quality, and infrastructure limitations. The findings contribute to the literature by identifying a progressive digitalization model and confirming the need for a holistic approach in digital transformation of public services. Future research is recommended to use mixed-methods for more robust statistical validity and comparative studies across PDAMs

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the concept of legal theory of realism and its influence on Islamic economic law in Indonesia. The approach applied in this article is a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method. The results of this study are as follows: First, legalism is a theory that we believe is not just the number of rules in the law, but also not only that it is not applied, but is actually realistic. Legal realism views law as the result of court decisions, accepts facts as elements in the creation of legal norms, and recognizes the existence of metaphysical or logical ideas. Realism has two legal requirements. In other words, legal realism in America and rights realism in Scandinavia follow the principles of legal realism. Second, this legal theory of realism has a certain harmony with Islamic law and has found its place in Islamic business law in Indonesia. One example is the fatwa decision in Islamic business law, which revitalizes the social conditions of society in determining norms

Abstract

Abstract. This study assesses the strategies employed by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to address the rising crime rate in Delta and Edo States, focusing on the effectiveness of community policing, technological innovations, and inter-agency collaboration. The rising crime rate in these states, characterized by kidnappings, armed robbery, cultism, and communal clashes, has created significant security challenges that demand effective law enforcement responses. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between community policing and crime reduction, assess the role of technological innovations in improving police performance, and examine the impact of inter-agency collaboration on crime control. The study used a quantitative approach, collecting data through a structured questionnaire distributed to security stakeholders, including police officers, community leaders, and residents in Delta and Edo States. The study was anchored on the Routine Activity Theory, which emphasizes how routine daily activities and societal changes influence crime opportunities. Correlation analysis was employed to test the hypotheses with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between community policing and crime reduction, as well as between technological innovations and improved police performance. Additionally, inter-agency collaboration was found to be crucial in enhancing the overall effectiveness of crime reduction strategies. The conclusion drawn from this study emphasizes the importance of integrating community-based policing, modern technologies, and inter-agency cooperation in addressing crime in in Delta and Edo States. The study recommended among others that the Nigeria Police Force should invest more in technological tools and foster stronger collaborations between security agencies to effectively combat rising crime rates in Delta and Edo States.

Abstract

The study examines the role of international organizations, specifically the World Health Organization (WHO), in managing global health security in Africa. It evaluates WHO’s effectiveness, the impact of systemic inequality in resource allocation, and the consequences of delays in decision-making and operational inefficiencies. The research is anchored in regime theory, which explains how international organizations govern global health security through established norms and cooperative frameworks (Krasner, 1983). A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing data from WHO reports, global health indices, and case studies of past health crises, such as Ebola (2014–2016) and COVID-19 (2020–2024). Data were collected from WHO publications, African CDC reports, peer-reviewed journals, and government health statistics.  Findings reveal that WHO plays a pivotal role in disease surveillance, emergency response coordination, and health policy implementation. However, systemic inequalities in funding and material distribution have limited Africa’s ability to respond effectively to health crises. Delays in WHO’s decision-making processes have further exacerbated the impact of pandemics on the continent. Despite these challenges, WHO remains a key institution for strengthening health security, provided that operational inefficiencies are addressed, resource distribution becomes more equitable, and decision-making processes are restructured. The study recommends decentralizing WHO’s regional offices in Africa, improving health equity in resource allocation, and reducing bureaucratic inefficiencies to enhance rapid emergency response. These findings contribute to ongoing policy discussions on global health governance and sustainable health security strategies for Africa.

Abstract

The conflict between the Chinese and indigenous communities in Makassar in 1997 represented a tragedy that reflected long-standing socio-economic and political tensions. This study aims to explore the causes, dynamics, and impacts of the conflict from the perspective of the Chinese community, as well as to seek reconciliation solutions to foster inter-ethnic harmony. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with a historical approach, the research collects data through in-depth interviews with affected members of the Chinese community, complemented by analysis of various written sources. The findings indicate that the conflict was initially triggered by an individual incident that escalated into mass violence, driven by economic inequality, negative stereotypes, and discriminatory policies during the New Order regime. From the Chinese community’s perspective, the conflict reflects a lack of justice and legal protection, underscoring the need for concrete measures to overcome intergroup prejudice. The event caused not only material losses but also deep psychological trauma for the Chinese community. Reconciliation efforts through cross-cultural dialogue, respect for diversity, and social justice are seen as crucial in preventing similar future conflicts. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of inter-ethnic dynamics in Indonesia and supports the application of multicultural values to strengthen national unity.

Abstract

Eco-tourism in protected areas is increasingly promoted as a model for conservation and community development in Nigeria. However, its success is contingent not on the presence of biodiversity alone, but on the governance structures that manage access, benefits, and trade-offs. This research critically examines the co-management framework of Cross River National Park (CRNP), one of Nigeria's most biodiverse and internationally significant protected areas. It investigates the complex interplay between the state (National Park Service), international conservation NGOs, private tourism operators, and the numerous forest-dependent communities residing in and around the park. Using a qualitative political ecology approach, the study analyzes formal agreements, policy documents, and, crucially, the lived experiences and perceptions of local communities. It seeks to uncover whether the current co-management model facilitates genuine power-sharing and equitable benefit distribution or merely perpetuates existing hierarchies under a new, "green" guise. The findings aim to contribute a nuanced understanding of institutional arrangements necessary for sustainable and just eco-tourism, offering concrete recommendations for reforming participatory governance in Nigeria's protected area network.
