Traditional Authority and Security in Contemporary Nigeria

Traditional Authority and Security in Contemporary Nigeria

Exploring the contentious landscape of Nigeria’s escalating violence this book describes the changing roles of traditional authorities in combatting contemporary security challenges. Set against a backdrop of widespread security threats – including insurgency land disputes communal violence regional independence movements and widespread criminal activities – perhaps more than ever before Nigeria’s conventional security infrastructure seems ill-equipped for the job. This book offers a fresh empirical analysis of the roles of traditional authorities – including kings Ezes Obas and Emirs – who are often hailed as potent alternatives to the state in security governance. It complicates the assumption that these traditional leaders by virtue of their customary legitimacy and popular roots are singularly effective in preventing and managing violence. Instead in exploring their creative adaptation to governance roles after a dramatic postcolonial downturn this book argues that traditional leaders can augment but not substitute the state in addressing insecurity. This book’s in-depth analysis will be of interest to researchers and policy makers across African and security studies political science anthropology and development.

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism

Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism explores the often incommensurable and irreconcilable beliefs and understandings of sexuality and gender in the Orthodox Jewish community from psychoanalytic rabbinic feminist and queer perspectives. The book explores how seemingly irreconcilable differences might be resolved. The book is divided into two separate but related sections. The first highlights the divide between the psychoanalytic academic and traditional Orthodox Jewish perspectives on sexual identity and orientation and the acute psychic and social challenges faced by gay and lesbian members of the Orthodox Jewish world. The contributors ask us to engage with them in a dialogue that allows for authentic conversation. The second section focuses on gender identity especially as experienced by the Orthodox transgender members of the community. It also highlights the divide between theories that see gender as fluid and traditional Judaism that sees gender as strictly binary. The contributors write about their views and experiences from both sides of the divide. They ask us to engage in true authentic dialogue about these complex and crucial emotional and religious challenges. Homosexuality Transsexuality Psychoanalysis and Traditional Judaism will be of great interest to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytic psychotherapists as well as members and leaders of Jewish communities working with LGBTQ issues.

Understanding Corruption Traditional and Legal Rational Norms

Understanding Corruption Traditional and Legal Rational Norms

This volume together scholars specializing in different parts of the world to give us a comparative understanding of the persistence of corruption in some societies. The reader is privileged to learn from the many global variations that are skilfully presented for further analyses. Corruption is a salient feature of human condition in any organized society. Further where risks are low and the returns high corruption is almost inevitable. Apart from this traditional public behaviour comes precariously close to what in the West might amount to corrupt practices. Bureaucratic corruption should be understood in the light of a clash of morality on the one hand and legality on the other. There is a contradiction between traditional values which are held in respect and are a part of everyday life of a people and norms of the larger society which stand out as compelling forces. The idea of the modern division between the public and private office is alien to a traditional culture and corruption finds space when this division is not strictly observed. Seven essays in this volume cover a range of countries which include India South Africa Nigeria Zimbabwe and Indonesia. As the essays unfold themselves the problem of corruption takes on an added dimension that of a legacy left behind by colonialism.

Law Without Lawyers Justice Without Courts On Traditional Chinese Mediation

Law Without Lawyers Justice Without Courts On Traditional Chinese Mediation

The Chinese have since ancient times professed a non-litigious outlook. Similarly their preference for mediation has fascinated the West for centuries. Mediation has been popularized by the Chinese who subscribe to the Confucian notions of harmony and compromise. It has been perpetuated in the People's Republic of China and by the overseas Chinese communities elsewhere such as in Malaysia and Taiwan. Seen as the chief contributing factor in their litigation-averse nature as well as the reason behind the significant role given to traditional mediation this compelling book traces the cultural tradition of the Chinese. It uses rural Chinese Malaysians as illustrative examples and offers new insights into the nature of mediation East and West. It is an important reference and essential resource for anyone keen to learn about traditional Chinese concepts of law justice and dispute settlement. Equally it makes a unique contribution to the existing ADR literature by undertaking a socio-legal study on traditional Chinese mediation. | Law Without Lawyers Justice Without Courts On Traditional Chinese Mediation

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

This book demonstrates the importance and potential role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in foreseeing and curbing future global pandemics. The reduction of species diversity has increased the risk of global pandemics and it is therefore not only imperative to articulate and disseminate knowledge on the linkages between human activities and the transmission of viruses to humans but also to create policy pathways for operationalizing that knowledge to help solve future problems. Although this book has been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic it lays a policy foundation for the effective management or possible prevention of similar pandemics in the future. One effective way of establishing this linkage with a view to promoting planet health is by understanding the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous peoples with a view to demonstrating the significant impact it has on keeping nature intact. This book argues for the deployment of traditional ecological knowledge for land use management in the preservation of biodiversity as a means for effectively managing the transmission of viruses from animals to humans and ensuring planetary health. The book is not projecting traditional ecological knowledge as a panacea to pandemics but rather accentuating its critical role in the effective mitigation of future pandemics. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of traditional ecological knowledge indigenous studies animal ecology environmental ethics and environmental studies more broadly. | Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics Biodiversity and Planetary Health Beyond Covid-19

Defending Traditional Islam in Indonesia examines the rise of young preachers of Arab descent (habaib) and their sermon groups in the region and shows how Islam and politics coexist flourish interlace and strive in Indonesia in complex pragmatic and mutually beneficial relationships. The book argues that the emergence of Arab preachers in the late 1990s when traditional forms of Islamic authority came under growing challenge from a diverse array of Muslim groups and ideologies is closely tied to contestation between traditionalists and their puritanical rivals the Salafi-Wahhabi. Not only have the habaib featured prominently in defending traditionalism they have also used this contestation as an opportunity to build their authority and religious capital through marketisation and their ties to the Middle East. The author explores the ways in which habaib promote themselves to the mostly young urban Muslim community and also analyses the use of new media and marketing strategies by habaib to attract young followers. The use of merchandise utilising popular culture and group identity markers is especially salient in the preachers’ outreach to urban audiences. In addition public staging and entertainment during preaching activities are means by which the habaib cast their Islamic preaching (dakwah) as the Prophet’s mission and encourage their followers’ participation. A novel socio-cultural and religious study and a contribution to the growing discussion on new media market and religion this book will be of interest to anthropologists social scientists and area studies scholars interested in Indonesia Southeast Asia and Islamic studies. | Defending Traditional Islam in Indonesia The Resurgence of Hadhrami Preachers
