Even though the Nigeria–Niger border is a significant gateway for human trafficking to Europe, it has received limited scholarly attention. The study used ethnographic and documentary methods to argue for adopting community-based border policing (CBBP) on the Nigeria–Niger border to complement border surveillance strategy (BSS). Despite the reliance on surveillance strategies, crimes like human trafficking have persisted on the Nigeria–Niger border. This state of affairs has necessitated the need to explore more comprehensive ways to police the border, for which CBBP is relevant to help in mitigating human trafficking on the Nigeria–Niger border.

In Nigeria and Ghana, scholars and statesmen suggest that the party system has missed the mark, having bred two major political parties that look alike ideologically. The argument is that the major parties in a two-dominant party system must articulate clearly alternative visions and strategies in an ideologically driven manifesto. To show the difference, such parties must have opposing values and ideologies, one revising the neoliberal growth model. Some analysts argue that when the ruling party manifests capitalist tendencies, the opposition should tend to the left-of-the-centre or socialist to express the opposite. What are the parties doing differently? While it seems on paper that National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party (NDC/NPP) in Ghana and All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party (APC/PDP) in Nigeria have manifestoes that seem to differ, there appears to be a minimal difference in their policies when in power to match the ideological leanings. The paper argues that political parties are essential to liberal democracy, but in the current hegemony of the market economy, they do not have to be diametrically ideologically different to fulfil their roles. The major political parties can be differentiated based on their stand on issues, giving rise to issue-based parties rather than ideological ones. The electorates may also rely on the office’s effectiveness to guide candidates’ and parties’ choices. The parties ought to articulate pressing national issues and solve them.

Although communication mediation models have been extensively researched, limited attention has been given to the influence of social and cultural characteristics. This study aims to address this gap by examining the Citizen Communication Mediation Model within the context of Taiwan. Specifically, it investigates the moderating roles of Asian values and network homogeneity. Utilizing data from the 2018–2021 Asian Barometer Survey, we identify a significant indirect effect of political news consumption on political participation through political discussion. Furthermore, our findings reveal that Asian values tend to mitigate the impact of political discussion on political participation. Higher levels of network homogeneity can enhance the mobilizing effect of political discussion, but this effect is most pronounced among individuals with low or medium levels of Asian values. The implications of these findings are discussed.

This study reviews the present escalating land pressures and their effects on traditional tenure rights in rural Zambia. The paper examines the evidence from qualitative as well as quantitative research design using in-depth interviews, key informants, and Focus Group Discussions. Owing to the scarcity of experimental studies, the review of empirical work is based mostly on observational studies, which compared Chamuka chiefdom located in Chisamba and Shimukunami chiefdom found in Lufwanyama district systems of traditional land administration. The study used χ2 test to analyze data to determine if perceived land scarcity had a significant impact on change under traditional land governance. Some evidence of positive relationships between traditional land management and perceived resource scarcity exists. It was, therefore, concluded that policy support for customary land governance has the potential to contribute to improving land use and reducing perceived land pressures in rural communities.

This article delves into the pressing necessity for comprehensive refugee legislation in India and the repercussions arising from the absence of such legal provisions. India, which harbours a considerable population of refugees from nations such as Myanmar, Bangladesh, Tibet, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, presently lacks a specialized legal framework tailored to tackle the distinct challenges confronted by refugees. The nonexistence of refugee laws gives rise to various consequences impacting refugees and the host country. The research methodology for this study adopted a qualitative approach, focusing on gaining in-depth insights into the challenges faced by refugees and the host communities in India and the consequences of lacking a dedicated refugee law. This article highlights five pivotal domains where the lack of a refugee law in India yields significant ramifications: insufficiency of legal safeguards, ambiguity and inconsistent treatment, restricted access to essential services, susceptibility to exploitation and mistreatment and burdens on host communities. Moreover, the article delves into the implications of national security concerns originating from the dearth of a comprehensive refugee law and its effect on India’s global standing. The analysis underscores the criticality of enacting a robust refugee law to safeguard the rights, security and welfare of refugees; foster their integration into society; and showcase India’s dedication to human rights and international humanitarian endeavours. The article concludes by emphasizing that implementing a comprehensive refugee law is imperative to address the challenges posed by forced displacement and establish a secure and inclusive future for refugees and the host nation.

The main purpose of this study was to review the performance of agricultural marketing in Malawi. Using a systematic review, the study synthesizes factors affecting performance of agricultural marketing in Malawi. It identifies key issues such as a lack of an efficient market system, information asymmetry in the market, inadequate agricultural marketing policies for non-food crops, price uncertainty, and lack of export incentives to encourage and boost agricultural exports. To that end, the study urges the necessity for a thorough examination of agricultural marketing policies that places an emphasis on dealing with important challenges in the agricultural sector that are supported by empirical data in order to foster economic growth.

This exploratory study investigates the journalistic influences on science reporting in Southern Africa, filling the gap that is under explored. South Africa, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe are the selected cases. Methodologically, this qualitative study relied on in-depth face-to-face interviews and purposive sampling as designs. The study employed Reese’s and Shoemaker’s hierarchy of influences model as the preferred theoretical framework because it articulates diverse factors affecting news content, categorized from a micro-individual to the macro-social system level. This study found that lack of resources, limited knowledge of science by journalists, and preference for political and economic news have largely affected the quality and frequency of science reporting in Southern Africa.
