The risks connected to the influx of light and small arms into Nigeria in particular and the African continent in general have been covered in the book. In our case study area of Kano State, the study has demonstrated the implications created by the widespread availability of SALW towards the escalation of various categories of violence and conflict. The research was conducted using system theory and fragility state theory as guiding principles. The study generates information to examine the issues surrounding SALW in Nigeria using both primary and secondary data. The research suggested that in order to ensure that illegal porous borders are managed, the security framework structure in Africa needed to work together to address the issueof the proliferation of SALW in the continent. The legal framework for locally manufactured arms, along with the strengthening of our security formations, aims to protect our borders and engage traditional institutions and local communities in the fight against the spread of small arms and light weapons throughout Africa.

Questo studio ha esplorato il ruolo delle organizzazioni regionali nella promozione della pace e della sicurezza regionale, con particolare attenzione all'intervento dell'ECOMOG negli Stati dell'Africa occidentale. Gli obiettivi di questo studio erano: (1) indagare perché l'ECOMOG continua a dispiegare la forza d'intervento come meccanismo di risoluzione dei conflitti durante i conflitti intrastatali in Africa occidentale; (2) esaminare la possibilità che la forza diventi una forza permanente; (3) esaminare le implicazioni politiche della presenza della forza nella subregione. Lo studio ha utilizzato un approccio qualitativo, cercando di coprire gli elementi esplorativi, descrittivi ed esplicativi del processo di ricerca. La prima parte dello studio fornisce un quadro generale dell'intervento dell'ECOMOG nei conflitti della regione dell'Africa occidentale. Nella seconda parte viene presentata una panoramica teorica del peacekeeping di diversi autori, il ruolo del peace-building nei conflitti civili, la nascita di meccanismi regionali di risoluzione dei conflitti con un occhio di riguardo all'ECOMOG. Nella terza parte, l'intervento dell'ECOMOG viene contestualizzato evidenziando le sue debolezze e le sue sfide; inoltre, nella quarta parte del lavoro, vengono riportati alcuni dei suoi successi. Il primo capitolo illustra il contesto dello studio, la dichiarazione di intenti e le conclusioni.

In dieser Studie wurde die Rolle regionaler Organisationen bei der Förderung von Frieden und Sicherheit in der Region untersucht, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf dem Einsatz der ECOMOG in westafrikanischen Staaten lag. Ziel dieser Studie war es, zu untersuchen, warum die ECOMOG die Interventionstruppe weiterhin als Konfliktlösungsmechanismus bei innerstaatlichen Konflikten in Westafrika einsetzt; (2) die Möglichkeit zu untersuchen, dass die Truppe zu einer ständigen Truppe wird; (3) die politischen Auswirkungen der Präsenz der Truppe in der Subregion zu untersuchen. In der Studie wurde ein qualitativer Ansatz verwendet, der die explorativen, deskriptiven und erklärenden Elemente des Forschungsprozesses abdecken sollte. Im ersten Teil der Studie wird der Hintergrund der ECOMOG-Intervention in Konflikten in der westafrikanischen Region dargestellt.

This book will analyze how politics in the Nigerian context is characterized by violence, suppression of opposition group and denial of individual liberties and massive corruption, insecurity, unemployment, due to poor leadership style exhibited by PDP led government since 1999 to April 2015. Secondly, this book has show case how democratic exercise would operate to produce good governance and flush out the bad actions inflicted by PDP led governance in the 16 years as a threat to democracy and good governance as well as bringing out good political action plan of All Progressive Congress (APC) as a new political tool that can ensure operation of true democracy and good governance in Nigeria. It is clear that the PDP lead government has failed the nation since the return of democracy in 1999. APC is a political machine that can get things right and produce the needed result in the effort of re-building Nigeria in 2015 and beyond to be one among top developed nations of the world. We have all the resources required for development, but poor leadership fails us. APC was formed as a call to answer major Nigerian problems: corruption, insecurity, unemployment violation of Human Rights
