Abstract

This study examined the impact of Nigeria’s fuel subsidy removal on tourist behavior in River Ethiope, Abraka, Delta State. It investigated how subsidy removal affected travel mode, cost, frequency, demand for tourism products and services, and overall visitor satisfaction. Using a survey and a combination of simple and systematic random sampling, data were collected from tourism visitors. Three hypotheses tested via regression analysis all revealed significant relationships between fuel subsidy removal and tourists’ travel behavior, product/service demand, and satisfaction. The findings indicate that fuel subsidy removal substantially influences tourism patterns in the Abraka region. The study concluded that there is a significant relationship between fuel subsidy removal and the overall satisfaction of tourism visitors in demand for tourism products and services along the River Ethiope region. It recommended, among others, the improvement of coordination among tourism agencies, government financial support for operators, promotion of sustainable tourism, and enhancement of public transport to mitigate subsidy removal effects and improve visitor experiences.

Abstract

The study examined the strategies employed by ECOWAS in promoting democratic government in Nigeria. To achieve a specific objective and research question was derived to guide the study. The structural functionalist theory was used for the study. The historical research design was adopted for the study to help analyze the historical trend of past events to account for the present. Secondary data was collected for the study. The qualitative research method of data analysis that relies on positive literature was used to analyze the research questions. The study discovered that ECOWAS has strategies outlined for the achievement of democratic consolidation in Africa, with emphasis on Nigeria. It further established that ECOWAS is faced with the challenges of funding that inhibit the achievement of the strategies for democratic consolidation. It was recommended that the challenges of funding and implementation of ECOWAS treaties within West Africa and Nigeria can be addressed, with the involvement of independent donors and sponsors within Africa and the diaspora. The study affirmed the need for ECOWAS to design strategies that are amenable to change and flexible due to the dynamic nature of society that is continuously evolving.

Abstract

China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has emerged as a transformative global infrastructure and development project since its launch in 2013. Beyond its economic scope, the initiative is increasingly framed as a strategic vehicle of China’s soft power. However, the reception and interpretation of the BRI vary across regions, influenced by political, economic, and social conditions. This paper investigates the contextual factors shaping perceptions of the BRI in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, using a discursive analytical approach. Findings highlight the importance of local political legitimacy, economic sustainability, and social narratives in mediating China’s influence and underscore the conditional nature of soft power.

Abstract

The Trump administration introduced a notable transformation in the United States' foreign and economic policy, primarily through assertive trade measures that heightened global economic tensions. This study explored the extent to which the administration’s trade confrontations, particularly with China, contributed to growing geopolitical instability and posed challenges to maintaining international peace. It focused on the effects of protectionist economic strategies on global diplomatic relations and examined their broader implications for long-term stability. Utilizing a historical research approach, it draws on a range of primary and secondary materials, such as political speeches, trade documents, policy records, and academic literature. This study adopted the Realist Theory of International Relations as its guiding framework, emphasizing how Trump’s economic policies were driven by national self-interest and the pursuit of power within the global system. The study found that policies such as the imposition of unilateral tariffs, the retreat from multilateral trade agreements, and the use of combative rhetoric weakened alliances, disrupted international trade networks, and heightened diplomatic tensions, particularly with China. These developments undermined global cooperative systems and eroded mechanisms intended to address economic disputes peacefully. The study concluded that although the policies were designed to protect American economic interests, they unintentionally fueled international discord and threatened global peace efforts. It recommends, among others, that the United States should renew its commitment to multilateral trade systems, including active participation in the World Trade Organization (WTO) and reengagement with regional trade agreements such as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Such engagement would reinforce the rules-based global trading system, restore trust with international partners, and foster collaborative economic development rooted in shared norms.

Abstract

Public trust is a fundamental element in the implementation of democratic elections. The General Elections Commission (KPU), as the election organizing body, plays a strategic role in building and maintaining public trust, one of which is through effective public communication strategies. This study aims to analyze public acceptance of the communication strategies implemented by the Madiun City KPU in the 2024 Elections, and how these strategies contribute to building public trust. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with voters, community leaders, and the Madiun City KPU, supported by observation and analysis of official KPU documents. The results show that the Madiun City KPU's communication strategies were implemented through various channels, both conventional and digital, such as face-to-face outreach, social media, and collaboration with local stakeholders. In general, these strategies were positively received by the public, particularly in increasing understanding of election stages and voter rights and obligations. However, this study also identified challenges, such as limited information reach for certain groups and differences in the level of political literacy of the community. In conclusion, the Madiun City General Elections Commission (KPU)'s communication strategy played a crucial role in building public trust in the 2024 election process, although further strengthening of inclusiveness and sustainability is still needed. This research is expected to contribute to the development of communication strategies for election organizers at the local level.
