Abstract:

Thuggery is a destructive force that erodes the fabric of society and breeds fear and distrust. It fosters a disregard for the rule of law and the principles of justice even as it erodes the values of empathy, compassion and respect for others, leading to a breakdown of social order. Societies afflicted by thuggery suffer from increased crime rates, reduced quality of life and a general sense of unrest and anarchy. Thuggery, especially its political variant, is a form of social violence which poses immense challenge to the security of lives and property of Nigerians and undermines the socio-ec

Abstract:

Abstract In this paper, I rethink thuggery, an overt form of dissent, as a spatial structural frame. Through a close reading of everyday forms of thuggery in Nigeria, exemplified in literary, musical, and photographic forms, I argue that not only is thuggery ubiquitous in the African postcolony but also that it is the means by which the citizenry assert their citizenship, structure their space, and perform democracy. I use the phrase “proximate thuggery” in two ways: first, to broaden the commonplace definition of thuggery as violent antisocial behavior which does not hold up in many postcolon

Abstract:

The election of village heads is one form of democracy in the village. The concept of democracy is what provides the basis and mechanism of power based on the principle of equality and human equality. Democracy places humans as the owners of sovereignty which is then known as the principle of people's sovereignty. To fulfill the rights of each human being cannot be achieved by each person individually, but must be together. Along with the rapid development and construction as an impact of globalization, the phenomenon of thuggery has emerged as one of the negative impacts that occur indirectly

Abstract:

Sociopolitical conflict, thuggery and electoral violence are great challenges of many democratic societies, especially in developing countries. In Nigeria particularly, these societal anomalies keep devastating most major elections in the country. The foundation of electoral violence in Nigeria has often been attributed to social and political marginalization, poverty, unemployment and under-employment and other excruciating human conditions. This paper attempts to examine socio-political violence and determine the causes and effects of violent thuggery on Lagos state during 2023 Nigerian gene

Abstract:

This chapter discusses the democratisation process in post-Suharto Indonesia and the role of Chinese Indonesians in the democratisation process. The opening up of democratic politics in the post-Suharto era has offered opportunities for the Chinese to participate directly in electoral politics and run for public office. The relatively liberal socio-cultural environment also allows the Chinese openly to express their ethnic and cultural identities. However, the democratisation process has been marred by poor enforcement of the rule of law, the capture of state institutions and political parties

In recent times, statistics have shown that the northern parts of Nigeria are poorer today than they were in the 1970s. Federal government of Nigeria is seen to be lacking in providing adequate security, quality education, good health facilities, agriculture, unemployment, infrastructure, social amenities and the like. Frustrated youths find themselves engaged in deadly politics, ethno-religious conflicts, political thuggery which has grown into political unrest and insurgency to be precise.

Abstract:

This chapter explains how a democracy weakened by damaged social foundations and corrupted governing institutions breeds despotism. The governing party machine, in the hands of a big boss leader, stirs up talk of ‘democracy’ and ‘the people’. It neuters the courts and other power-monitoring institutions and turns them into empty shells. Demagogic talk of ‘democracy’ and the need for firm rule backed by ‘the people’ grows louder, and more militant. Elections become rowdy plebiscites. Rumours, exaggerations, and bullshit are spread by its loyal media organs. The signature tactic is stirring up t
