Cooperation among neighbouring countries is critical for managing security threats like terrorism and migration. Despite their proximity, states often struggle to cooperate for various reasons, including a lack of solidarity, which can harm regional peace and stability. This study uses qualitative research to examine West African nations’ cooperation in combating Islamist terrorism and aiding affected individuals across borders. Applying regional security complex theory and transnationalism, we assess how terrorism-driven migration impacts regional security, peace and development, highlighting cooperation challenges. This study redefines ‘neighbour’ in international relations, emphasising proactive international solidarity and shared responsibility to address insecurity.
邻国之间的合作对于管理恐怖主义和移民等安全威胁至关重要。尽管各国距离很近,但由于缺乏团结等各种原因,它们往往难以开展合作,这可能会损害地区和平与稳定。本研究采用定性研究的方法,考察西非国家在打击伊斯兰恐怖主义和援助受影响人员方面的合作情况。运用地区安全复合理论和跨国主义,我们评估了恐怖主义驱动的移民如何影响地区安全、和平与发展,并强调了合作面临的挑战。本研究重新定义了国际关系中的 "邻国",强调积极主动的国际团结和应对不安全问题的共同责任。

Accra Airport City I: A Global Space and An Exclusionary Enclave 阿克拉航空城 I:全球空间与排斥性飞地

Airport cities are global spaces used by countries to improve non-aeronautical revenue and to attract foreign direct investment. The planning of such spaces is underpinned by neoliberal ideology and market-dominated policy which often do not make them inclusive. Yet the United Nations SDG 11 and New Urban Agenda calls for inclusive communities in planning urban spaces. Meanwhile GACL maintains a commoditised enclave with zero tolerance policy towards unwarranted use of the open spaces for informal food vending. The results show that the lower class are finding alternatives to address their basic need and their actions are blurring the hegemonic planning.
机场城市是各国用来提高非航空收入和吸引外国直接投资的全球空间。这些空间的规划以新自由主义意识形态和市场主导政策为基础,往往不具有包容性。然而,联合国可持续发展目标 11 和《新城市议程》呼吁在规划城市空间时要有包容性的社区。与此同时,GACL 却维持着一个商品化的飞地,对无理使用开放空间进行非正规食品贩卖采取零容忍政策。研究结果表明,底层人民正在寻找其他方式来满足他们的基本需求,他们的行动正在模糊霸权规划。

The study aims to unpack the concept of unofficial normalization and how it can facilitate the resolution of interstate conflicts. Drawing on Kriesberg’s typology of conflict management strategies as constructive or destructive, we define constructive unofficial normalization as a new type of coengagement reward inducement in the context of United Arab Emirates (UAE)–Israel relations. Disciplined configurative and heuristic modes of case study analysis are employed. The paper argues that unofficial relations between the UAE and Israel in the decades preceding the Abraham Accords in 2020 was a necessary element in the transition from conflict management to conflict resolution.
本研究旨在解读非官方正常化的概念及其如何促进国家间冲突的解决。根据克里斯贝格(Kriesberg)将冲突管理策略分为建设性和破坏性两种类型的观点,我们将建设性非官方正常化定义为阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)-以色列关系中一种新型的共同参与奖励诱导。本文采用了严谨的配置和启发式案例研究分析模式。本文认为,在 2020 年《亚伯拉罕协议》签署之前的几十年里,阿联酋与以色列之间的非官方关系是从冲突管理过渡到冲突解决的必要因素。

Since African decolonization and independence, foreign land acquisitions for agriculture have surged in Sub-Saharan Africa, notably transforming agricultural production. This “land grabbing” phenomenon is particularly pronounced in the Horn of Africa, especially Ethiopia. This study assesses the impact of land grabbing on Ethiopia’s development, targeting economic, environmental, and quality of life dimensions. Development is viewed as multifaceted, spanning beyond merely economic aspects. The research delves into the land-grabbing phenomenon in Sub-Saharan Africa and Ethiopia, focusing on policy and legal frameworks for large-scale commercial agriculture. It then explores the effects of large-scale land acquisition on Ethiopia’s development in terms of economy, environment, and quality of life. The analysis reveals that land grabbing profoundly affects Ethiopia’s development. Although some economic benefits exist, the negatives like environmental degradation and food insecurity greatly outweigh the positives. Consequently, the study advises prioritizing alternatives and strategies favoring Ethiopia’s economic development and people’s well-being.
自非洲非殖民化和独立以来,撒哈拉以南非洲地区的外国农业用地收购激增,特别是改变了农业生产。这种 "土地掠夺 "现象在非洲之角,尤其是埃塞俄比亚尤为明显。本研究针对经济、环境和生活质量等方面,评估了土地掠夺对埃塞俄比亚发展的影响。发展是多方面的,不仅仅涉及经济方面。研究深入探讨了撒哈拉以南非洲和埃塞俄比亚的土地掠夺现象,重点关注大规模商业农业的政策和法律框架。然后探讨了大规模土地征用在经济、环境和生活质量方面对埃塞俄比亚发展的影响。分析表明,土地掠夺严重影响了埃塞俄比亚的发展。虽然存在一些经济效益,但环境退化和粮食不安全等负面影响大大超过了正面影响。因此,研究建议优先考虑有利于埃塞俄比亚经济发展和人民福祉的替代方案和战略。

Language is an inherent and intrinsic form of human communication, and India is renowned for its extensive range of languages. Nevertheless, the languages that are spoken in India, which play a crucial role in fostering this diverse cultural landscape, have encountered obstacles stemming from the forces of globalisation and domestic prejudice over an extended period of time. This paper underscores the concerning phenomenon of language attrition throughout history, wherein numerous languages have become extinct, resulting in fragmented remnants of cultural heritage. The majority of extinct languages were of Indigenous origin, suggesting a discernible racial bias in their eradication. Many linguists see the current situation as linguistic genocide, the intentional destruction of languages to achieve cultural unity. This study assesses the laws and policies pertaining to minority languages in India and examines their compatibility with international standards. This paper examines the difficulties associated with the implementation of language preservation legislation and explores the potential consequences of linguistic genocide on cultural identity, social cohesion and human rights within the context of India.
语言是人类交流固有的内在形式,印度因其语言种类繁多而闻名于世。然而,印度的语言在促进这一多元文化景观方面发挥着至关重要的作用,却在很长一段时间内遇到了全球化力量和国内偏见带来的障碍。本文强调了历史上令人担忧的语言消亡现象,即许多语言已经灭绝,导致文化遗产的残余支离破碎。大多数灭绝的语言都源于土著语言,这表明在消灭这些语言的过程中存在着明显的种族偏见。许多语言学家将目前的状况视为语言种族灭绝,即为了实现文化统一而故意破坏语言。本研究评估了印度有关少数民族语言的法律和政策,并审查了它们是否符合国际标准。本文研究了与语言保护立法的实施相关的困难,并探讨了在印度背景下语言种族灭绝对文化认同、社会凝聚力和人权的潜在后果。

Border towns benefit from cross-border movement of goods, services and people. Many suffered setbacks when governments responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by closing borders. We investigated how the lockdown regulations affected the economy of Ladybrand, a small South African town near Lesotho. We found that local planning was not taking advantage of the benefits of a border town economy and was unprepared for border closure. Retail outlets were the hardest hit, followed by the transport, services and health sectors. Dilapidated infrastructure and poor service delivery made it difficult for the town to cope with the effects of the border closure.
边境城镇受益于货物、服务和人员的跨境流动。在 COVID-19 大流行时,许多边境城镇因政府关闭边境而遭受挫折。我们对莱索托附近的南非小镇 Ladybrand 的经济如何受到封锁规定的影响进行了调查。我们发现,当地的规划并没有利用边境小镇经济的优势,也没有为边境关闭做好准备。零售店受到的冲击最大,其次是运输、服务和卫生部门。破旧的基础设施和糟糕的服务使该镇难以应对边境关闭的影响。

The Eighteenth Constitutional Amendment and the Baloch National Question in Pakistan 第十八次宪法修正案与巴基斯坦的俾路支民族问题

The passage of the eighteenth amendment bill in 2010 represented a critical milestone in Pakistan’s constitutional history. It sought to better manage the perennial federal-provincial tensions by restructuring the country’s constitutional framework to assuage the grievances of the ethno-regional movements opposed to the centralised state system, especially in Balochistan, where Pakistan’s territorial integrity faces its toughest challenge. Islamabad’s inflexibility in accommodating ethnic dissidence through various institutional measures has exacerbated ethnic tensions and hardened nationalist sentiments. The eighteenth amendment aimed to reverse deformations introduced during dictatorships and promote a more federal polity. More than a decade has passed since the introduction of the bill, yet the question lingers: Did the amendment achieve its intended goal of mitigating the ethnic conflict in Balochistan? This article scrutinises the current situation in Balochistan and offers a critically oriented analysis of the amendment’s impact on the province’s security scenario. It contends that the amendment fell short of its objectives because it remained silent on issues of critical import to the Baloch and failed to address the underlying issues fuelling the conflict.
2010 年第十八修正案的通过是巴基斯坦宪法史上的一个重要里程碑。该法案旨在通过调整国家宪法框架,缓解反对中央集权国家制度的民族地区运动的不满情绪,尤其是在巴基斯坦领土完整面临最严峻挑战的俾路支省,从而更好地管理联邦与各省之间长期存在的紧张关系。伊斯兰堡在通过各种制度性措施容纳民族异见方面缺乏灵活性,这加剧了民族紧张局势,使民族主义情绪更加强硬。第十八修正案旨在扭转独裁统治时期的畸形发展,促进建立更加联邦制的政体。法案提出至今已有十多年,但问题依然存在:修正案是否实现了缓解俾路支省种族冲突的预期目标?本文仔细研究了俾路支省的现状,并从批判的角度分析了修正案对该省安全局势的影响。文章认为,该修正案未能实现其目标,因为它对俾路支人至关重要的问题保持沉默,也未能解决助长冲突的根本问题。

A treasure of knowledge is lost when a language dies and it is irretrievable. While the majority of indigenous languages are endangered, it is difficult for these languages to survive in the 21st century socially diverse world. This study examines the role of social media in the preservation and promotion of indigenous languages, particularly Punjabi and Setswana, within the context of social media platforms Facebook and X (formally called Twitter). The qualitative approach, using a content analysis method, investigates the linguistic content shared on these platforms. These languages act as channels for language preservation and promotion, navigating time, place and identity in the digital era. Social media platforms, such as X and Facebook, have the potential to rejuvenate and conserve indigenous and endangered languages. The study reveals a rich tapestry of participation, expression, and community development in the digital arena, highlighting the potential of both platforms to preserve and promote indigenous languages. The study also explores aspects such as prosocial impacts, social norms and convincing representations. Overall, this study emphasizes the importance of making fundamental decisions about social media and indigenous language preservation and promotion, emphasizing the mitigation of challenges.
当一种语言消亡时,知识的宝藏也随之消失,无法挽回。虽然大多数土著语言濒临灭绝,但这些语言很难在 21 世纪这个社会多元化的世界中生存下去。本研究以社交媒体平台 Facebook 和 X(正式名称为 Twitter)为背景,探讨了社交媒体在保护和推广土著语言,尤其是旁遮普语和塞茨瓦纳语方面的作用。本研究采用内容分析法对这些平台上分享的语言内容进行了定性研究。这些语言作为语言保护和推广的渠道,在数字时代引领着时间、地点和身份。X 和 Facebook 等社交媒体平台具有振兴和保护土著语言和濒危语言的潜力。研究揭示了数字领域中参与、表达和社区发展的丰富多彩,突出了这两个平台在保护和促进土著语言方面的潜力。本研究还探讨了亲社会影响、社会规范和令人信服的表现形式等方面。总之,本研究强调了就社交媒体和土著语言保护与推广做出基本决定的重要性,并强调了减少挑战的重要性。

The question of whether urbanization represents a boon or a bane for developing nations has triggered enduring discourse within academic and political spheres. Notwithstanding the persistent deliberations, scant attention has been devoted to examining the influence of natural population augmentation in propelling urbanization. Therefore, this study bridges this gap through a heterogeneous panel data analysis employing the use of Mean Group, Dynamic Fixed Effects and, Pooled Mean Group models, delving into the dynamics linking natural population increase and urbanization across the East African Countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania using data from World Bank spanning from 1960 to 2020. The findings reveal the significant and heterogeneous enduring impact of natural population increase on regional urbanization, intertwined with variables such as fertility rate and population growth. Moreover, findings reveal that migration have a higher influence on urbanization compared to natural population increase in the East African context. However, it is important to note that the extent of this influence varies across countries in the region. Drawing from these findings, the study underscores the imperative for member states to bolster socioeconomic provisions in rural domains, curtailing the influx of natural population increase into urban areas. Concurrently, embracing global population management agendas emerges as a vital stride toward attaining sustainable development and alleviating resource pressures. In sum, this study furnishes invaluable insights into the intricate facets of urbanization within developing realms, accentuating the exigency for bespoke strategies to surmount the distinctive challenges encountered by each sovereign nation.
城市化对发展中国家是利是弊的问题在学术界和政界引发了持久的讨论。尽管讨论持续不断,但很少有人关注自然人口增长对推动城市化的影响。因此,本研究通过使用均值组、动态固定效应和集合均值组模型进行异质面板数据分析,利用世界银行提供的 1960 年至 2020 年的数据,深入研究了东非国家布隆迪、肯尼亚、卢旺达、乌干达和坦桑尼亚的自然人口增长与城市化之间的动态关系,从而弥补了这一差距。研究结果表明,自然人口增长与生育率和人口增长等变量交织在一起,对地区城市化产生了重大而多样的持久影响。此外,研究结果表明,在东非地区,与人口自然增长相比,移民对城市化的影响更大。然而,必须指出的是,这种影响的程度在该地区各国之间存在差异。根据这些研究结果,本研究强调成员国必须加强农村地区的社会经济供应,遏制自然人口增长涌入城市地区。同时,接受全球人口管理议程是实现可持续发展和减轻资源压力的重要步骤。总之,本研究对发展中地区城市化的复杂方面提供了宝贵的见解,强调了制定专门战略以克服每个主权国家所遇到的独特挑战的必要性。
{"title":"The Dynamics of Natural Population Increase and Urbanization in East Africa: Heterogeneous Panel Data Analysis 1960–2020","authors":"Felician Andrew Kitole, Eliaza Mkuna, J. K. Sesabo, R.

Notwithstanding the persistent deliberations, scant attention has been devoted to examining the influence of natural population augmentation in propelling urbanization. Therefore, this study bridges this gap through a heterogeneous panel data analysis employing the use of Mean Group, Dynamic Fixed Effects and, Pooled Mean Group models, delving into the dynamics linking natural population increase and urbanization across the East African Countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania using data from World Bank spanning from 1960 to 2020. The findings reveal the significant and heterogeneous enduring impact of natural population increase on regional urbanization, intertwined with variables such as fertility rate and population growth. Moreover, findings reveal that migration have a higher influence on urbanization compared to natural population increase in the East African context. However, it is important to note that the extent of this influence varies across countries in the region. Drawing from these findings, the study underscores the imperative for member states to bolster socioeconomic provisions in rural domains, curtailing the influx of natural population increase into urban areas. Concurrently, embracing global population management agendas emerges as a vital stride toward attaining sustainable development and alleviating resource pressures. In sum, this study furnishes invaluable insights into the intricate facets of urbanization within developing realms, accentuating the exigency for bespoke strategies to surmount the distinctive challenges encountered by each sovereign nation.","PeriodicalId":46881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian and African Studies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140213833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
