This article examines the politics of public policies characterised by increased securitisation of Nigeria’s national boundary from 2014 to 2017. While the regulation appears on paper to discourage transborder crime, capital outflow and sustain a favourable balance of payment, the existing armoury of West African border literature argues otherwise. What is new in the transborder dynamics of West Africa? What informs government’s border policies in Nigeria? In answering these questions, this study provides a template for a reassessment of the gap between borderlands theory and policy in West Africa. The approach is comparative based on the critical analysis of oral interviews, government trade records, newspaper reports and the extant literature. The article provides a platform for rethinking of the nexus between governance and development in West Africa from the securitisation and neo-patrimonial perspectives. It concludes that effective border management in Nigeria is set aback by misguided and dysfunctional elitist-centred regulations that are devoid of the realities on the ground.
本文考察了2014年至2017年尼日利亚国家边界证券化程度提高的公共政策政治。虽然这项规定在纸面上似乎是为了阻止跨境犯罪、资本外流和维持有利的国际收支,但西非现有的边境文献却恰恰相反。西非的跨界动态有什么新变化?尼日利亚政府的边境政策是什么?在回答这些问题时,这项研究为重新评估西非边境地区理论和政策之间的差距提供了一个模板。该方法是基于对口头采访、政府贸易记录、报纸报道和现存文献的批判性分析的比较方法。这篇文章为从证券化和新继承制的角度重新思考西非治理与发展之间的关系提供了一个平台。它得出的结论是,尼日利亚有效的边境管理被误导和功能失调的以精英为中心的法规所震惊,这些法规缺乏当地的现实。

The article examines the Economic Community of West African States’ (ECOWAS) protocol on free movement and the challenges of human trafficking in West Africa. It investigates the implication of ECOWAS protocol on free movement on human trafficking in West Africa. The data used for the study were obtained through secondary sources. The finding shows that protocol on the free movement of a person is a precursor for increase in human trafficking in West Africa due to border porosity. Based on the findings, it was suggested that the ECOWAS intensify more efforts with its member states to solve their economic problems as the vulnerability of human trafficking is from the low-performing economies in West Africa. In addition, it was also suggested that the ECOWAS should step up effort to bring to account the perpetrators of human trafficking.
这篇文章审查了西非国家经济共同体(西非经共体)关于西非自由流动和贩运人口挑战的议定书。它调查西非经共体关于西非人口贩运自由流动的议定书的影响。用于研究的数据是通过二次来源获得的。调查结果表明,由于边境漏洞,关于人员自由流动的议定书是西非人口贩运增加的前兆。根据调查结果,有人建议西非经共体加强与成员国的合作,以解决其经济问题,因为贩运人口的脆弱性来自西非表现不佳的经济体。此外,有人还建议西非经共体加紧努力,追究人口贩运肇事者的责任。

Key Reasons behind Nelson Mandela’s Call for a Negotiated Settlement of the Congolese Conflict and Its Critics 纳尔逊·曼德拉呼吁谈判解决刚果冲突背后的主要原因及其批评者
IF 0.8 Q2 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818776164

This article provides key reasons behind Nelson Mandela’s call for a negotiated settlement of the Congolese conflict and its critics. Mandela regarded a negotiated settlement of the Congolese conflict as a viable means to pave a way for the political governance of the Congolese society conducive for the advancement of human rights, democracy and development of its people. Central to his policy approach was his call for the right of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to its national self-determination and the free, independent exercise of its sovereignty and domestic and foreign policies in the interests of its people and for this right to be respected by its neighbouring countries and other countries in Africa and globally. This was a best way of ensuring that the Congolese were to resolve their national conflict without the interference of external actors. This meant resolving conflicts among themselves and with their neighbours. Mandela’s policy approach towards the resolution of the Congolese conflict was based on the situation of the Great Lakes, the strategy and tactics of the USA and its regional allies and the strategic importance of the DRC to the continental transformation. Arguments advanced by its critics against it were ignorant of these issues, processes and developments. They did not serve the struggle for human rights, democracy, development and political governance of the Congolese society conducive for their advancement. These problems still remain in place in the DRC. South Africa’s policy approach towards the Congolese conflict prevailed over that of those who opposed it. Thabo Mbeki, upon becoming the national president, continued with this policy, pursued under the leadership of Mandela, aimed at a negotiated settlement of the DRC conflict. It led to a transitional government of national unity that was brought to an end by the results of the 2006 elections.
这篇文章提供了纳尔逊·曼德拉呼吁通过谈判解决刚果冲突及其批评者背后的关键原因。曼德拉认为,通过谈判解决刚果冲突是为刚果社会的政治治理铺平道路的一种可行手段,有助于促进刚果人民的人权、民主和发展。他的政策方针的核心是,他呼吁刚果民主共和国(DRC)享有民族自决权,为了其人民的利益自由、独立地行使主权和国内外政策,并呼吁其邻国以及非洲和全球其他国家尊重这一权利。这是确保刚果人在不受外部行为者干涉的情况下解决国家冲突的最佳方式。这意味着要解决他们之间以及与邻国之间的冲突。曼德拉解决刚果冲突的政策方针是基于大湖区局势、美国及其地区盟友的战略和战术以及刚果民主共和国对大陆转型的战略重要性。其批评者提出的反对它的论点对这些问题、进程和发展一无所知。他们没有为刚果社会争取人权、民主、发展和政治治理的斗争服务,这有利于他们的进步。这些问题在刚果民主共和国仍然存在。南非对刚果冲突的政策方针压倒了反对者。塔博·姆贝基在成为国家总统后,继续推行曼德拉领导下的这一政策,旨在通过谈判解决刚果民主共和国冲突。它导致了一个民族团结过渡政府,2006年的选举结果结束了这个政府。

The Dynamics of Ethiopia-Sudan Relations Over the Hydro-politics of Nile 埃塞俄比亚与苏丹在尼罗河水文政治问题上的关系动态
IF 0.8 Q2 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2018-06-25 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818772235

In this study, the previous as well as current dynamics of Ethio-Sudan relation, conflict or cooperation over the hydro-politics of the Nile had been critically assessed. To this effect, using case study research design, relevant theories of hydro-politics had been employed. The finding reveals that the implementation of hegemonic paradigm by Egypt influenced Ethiopia and the Sudan to pursue competing foreign policy orientations and practices over the utilisation and development of the Nile water resources. The contradiction between previous Egypt–Sudan agreements and the New Cooperative Framework Agreement among other riparian countries headed by Ethiopia has also remained to be a challenge to Ethio-Sudan relations over the issue. However, enabling practical lessons that Sudan has got from various hydro-projects of Ethiopia over the Nile River in the recent past, has recently been creating an opportunity for an improving Ethio-Sudan bilateral relation over the Nile question. Therefore, unlike various forms of Ethio-Sudan diplomatic rifts over the utilisation and management of the Nile water resource in the past, the cumulative effect of critical analysis of current developments indicates the recognition of cooperation over conflict between the two neighbours.
在这项研究中,对过去和现在埃塞俄比亚-苏丹关系的动态、尼罗河水文政治方面的冲突或合作进行了严格的评估。为此,采用个案研究的研究设计,运用了水文政治的相关理论。这一发现表明,埃及霸权范式的实施影响了埃塞俄比亚和苏丹在尼罗河水资源的利用和开发上追求相互竞争的外交政策取向和做法。以前的埃及-苏丹协议与以埃塞俄比亚为首的其他沿岸国家之间的新合作框架协议之间的矛盾,仍然是在这个问题上对埃塞俄比亚-苏丹关系的一个挑战。然而,最近苏丹从埃塞俄比亚在尼罗河上的各种水利工程中获得了有益的实际经验,最近为改善埃塞俄比亚-苏丹在尼罗河问题上的双边关系创造了机会。因此,与过去埃塞俄比亚-苏丹在尼罗河水资源利用和管理方面的各种形式的外交分歧不同,对当前事态发展进行批判性分析的累积效应表明,两国承认在冲突中进行合作。

Leadership in Southern Africa: A Regional Afrocentric Hierarchical Taxonomy 南部非洲的领导力:一个以非洲为中心的区域层次分类法
IF 0.8 Q2 AREA STUDIES Pub Date : 2018-05-29 DOI: 10.1177/0975087818772236

Leadership and leadership research should be viewed in a particular context. The contextual lens is largely neglected when Afrocentric leadership in organisations is framed. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the qualitative assertions that there are distinctive characteristics that underpin Afrocentric leadership in organisations can be authenticated by an empirical study conducted in Southern Africa. The aim is to determine and validate a leadership behaviour taxonomy within the regional context using an empirical paradigm in a cross-sectional design. The sample was drawn from 30 organisations in Southern Africa: South Africa, Swaziland, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, consisting of 1,676 participants from all sectors. The original conceptualisation of leadership in terms of a Westernised leadership behaviour taxonomy was statistically confirmed, in a unique permutation. This literature as well as the empirical findings revealed that while some leadership behaviours are generic, there are unique behaviours in an Afrocentric leadership taxonomy. This context specific taxonomy includes the following meta-categories: task, relations, a combined category change and external, and an additional unique African meta-category, which has a participatory, democratic and communalistic focus. As this is a first empirical study of this nature and magnitude, it could serve as a reference for further conceptualisation of Afrocentric leadership. The reconfigured meta-category taxonomy has been positively examined for structural validity as well as an assessment of convergent and discriminant validity. Recommendations are made about further research in testing the universal application of this leadership taxonomy in Africa. Recommendations were made for future research and the application of the findings to leadership in Africa.
领导力和领导力研究应该放在一个特定的背景下看待。在组织中建立以非洲为中心的领导力时,语境视角在很大程度上被忽视了。本研究的目的是评估定性断言,是否有鲜明的特征,在组织中支撑非洲中心主义的领导可以通过在南部非洲进行的实证研究验证。目的是在横断面设计中使用经验范式来确定和验证区域背景下的领导行为分类法。样本来自南部非洲的30个组织:南非、斯威士兰、纳米比亚、津巴布韦和莫桑比克,包括来自各行各业的1676名参与者。在一个独特的排列中,西化的领导行为分类法的领导的原始概念在统计上得到了证实。这些文献以及实证研究结果表明,虽然一些领导行为是通用的,但在非洲中心主义领导分类中有独特的行为。这种具体情况的分类法包括以下元类别:任务、关系、综合类别变化和外部,以及另一个独特的非洲元类别,其重点是参与、民主和社区主义。由于这是第一次对这种性质和规模的实证研究,它可以作为进一步概念化非洲中心主义领导的参考。重新配置的元类别分类法已被积极地检验了结构效度,以及收敛效度和区分效度的评估。建议进一步进行研究,以检验这一领导分类在非洲的普遍应用。对今后的研究和将研究结果应用于非洲的领导提出了建议。

In the past century, Africa has been visibly absent from the world’s growth map. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, however, many countries in Africa have guided their way into achieving impressive economic growth. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) identified six countries from Africa—Rwanda, Mozambique, Nigeria, Angola, Chad and Ethiopia—in the top ten fastest growing economies of the world during 2001–10. Among these countries, some are resource-rich while others are non-resource-based economies. Both have however achieved growth through the adoption of targeted economic policies. With an examination of the post-conflict reconstruction of Rwanda (non-resource) and Angola (resource-rich), the article analyses the policies adopted and measures undertaken by the two for achieving economic growth as well as the prospects for sustainability of their growth.
在过去的一个世纪里,非洲显然没有出现在世界增长地图上。然而,在二十一世纪初,许多非洲国家已经引导它们实现了令人印象深刻的经济增长。国际货币基金组织(IMF)将非洲的六个国家——卢旺达、莫桑比克、尼日利亚、安哥拉、乍得和埃塞俄比亚——列为2001-10年世界十大增长最快的经济体。在这些国家中,一些国家资源丰富,而另一些国家则是非资源型经济体。然而,两者都通过采取有针对性的经济政策实现了增长。本文通过对卢旺达(非资源国)和安哥拉(资源丰富国)冲突后重建的考察,分析了两国为实现经济增长而采取的政策和措施,以及两国经济增长可持续性的前景。

Generally, Nigerian political parties in the present republic have been hampered by crisis of internal democracy thus undermining their political leadership recruitment function. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a good example of one of these Nigerian political parties that lacks internal democracy. In fact, PDP was a leviathan. The 2015 Election symbolised a contest between David and Goliath. The electoral outcome is that PDP has transformed from a ruling party to an opposition party. The study, by relying on the theory of relative autonomy of the state and secondary sources, concludes that lack of internal democracy was a necessary condition for PDP’s poor performance in the 2015 General Elections, and thus, there is a relationship between crisis of internal democracy and 2015 electoral outcomes. Also, the article noted that PDP authoritarianism deepened crisis of internal democracy in Nigeria and that this authoritarian character of the former ruling PDP was a reflection of the authoritarian character of the Nigerian state, which is currently shaping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). The study is essentially qualitative, historical and inductive.
总的来说,尼日利亚目前共和国的政党受到内部民主危机的阻碍,从而削弱了其政治领导招聘职能。人民民主党(PDP)是这些尼日利亚政党缺乏内部民主的一个很好的例子。事实上,PDP是一个庞然大物。2015年的大选象征着大卫和歌利亚之间的较量。选举结果是PDP从执政党转变为在野党。本研究依据国家相对自治理论和二手资料得出结论:内部民主的缺失是PDP在2015年大选中表现不佳的必要条件,因此,内部民主危机与2015年选举结果之间存在关系。此外,文章指出,PDP的威权主义加深了尼日利亚内部民主的危机,前执政的PDP的这种威权主义特征反映了尼日利亚国家的威权主义特征,尼日利亚国家目前正在塑造执政的全进步大会(APC)。这一研究本质上是定性的、历史的和归纳的。
