Beyond Indirect Rule
This article re-examines British rule in Benin between 1897 and 1935. It argues that cannot adequately understand the colonial administration through the familiar distinction between direct and indirect rule. Instead, British policy sought to weaken and contain a once-powerful kingdom while preserving selected indigenous institutions under close administrative control. Drawing on archival records, Education Department files, missionary correspond…
Fuel subsidy protests in Nigeria
Attempts to abolish fuel subsidy by successive governments in Nigeria have provoked serious backlash in the form of protests and violence. What maybe said to be the use of such public protests? The literature draw attention to the link between fuel subsidies and protests, but it is still unclear whether or how protests empower protesters to shape the forces that dominate their lives. This paper applies Gaventa's ‘power cube’ as an analytical devi…
Tropical Landscapes and Nature-Culture Entanglements
Landscape integrates both natural and cultural aspects of a particular geographical area. Environmental elements include geological landforms, waterscapes, seascapes, climate and weather, flora and fauna. They also necessarily involve human perception and inscription which reflect histories of extraction and excavation, of planting and settlement, of design and pollution. Natural elements and cultural shaping by humans - past, present, and future…
Nonstate Armed Groups, Leadership, and Sanctions Effectiveness
The world’s most intractable conflicts, with nonstate armed groups (NSAGs) as key actors, have emerged in Africa. The UN seeks to deal with such threats through the increasing use of sanctions. NSAGs often resist sanctions demands, protracting conflicts. What is the role of leadership in the outcome? The sanctions literature has given scant attention to how predominant leaders determine whether NSAGs yield to sanctions. The nexus between leadersh…
Environment and Conflict
Environmental degradation is a fast-growing problem that not only threatens to erode future development and undermine economic prosperity, but also victimizes and displaces ordinary peoples and communities in some of the most fragile areas of the world. Often grassroots opposition and mobilization is seen through a secular lens, implying that collective action is merely material and provincial. In this book John Agbonifo argues for a decolonizati…
Environment and Conflict
Sanctions, Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding
In pursuit of peace and development, Article 41 of the UN Charter authorises the use of sanctions to deal with any state perceived as a threat to international security and peace. In the post-Cold War era, sanctions rapidly became a tool of choice for conflict prevention and peacebuilding. Non-state armed actors (NSAAs) have increasingly become significant players in the international system as well as a target of the demands of sanctions. Howeve…
