CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION1.1 Background of the researchSaharan African is a land of young nation states where many of nations gained their freedomfrom European colonisers between 1960 and 1980. Nigeria gained its independence in the year1960. Nigeria broke into civil war from 1967 to 1970. It has been shuffling between democraticallyelected civil government and dictatorship since then, it gained stability in 1999. Nigeria, likeMajority of African countries that have closed political systems i.e., the system, is closed to importand export, no interaction with the outside world, it works in its own environment, have adoptedprinciples of democratic governance. Sub-Saharan Africa has faced longstanding issues such aslarge debt, environmental disasters, ethnic divisions, HIV/ AIDS, poverty, etc. Some or all of thesefactors may result in autocratic regimes, civil strife, weak institutions, corruption and unresponsivepolitical system of the continent. From the survey of Afrobarometer, it has been found that half ofAfricans recognize their nation as a democratic and functions of democracy has satisfied them. Thissurvey was carried in 27 nations of Sub-Saharan African where people of 13 states have remarkedthat election process of a continent has been reasonably fair and free (Asaolu, Adedokun andMonday, 2016). Saharan African stability cannot be taken for granted by other nations in the world. Fromassessment, it has been identified that significant improvements have been made in Sub-SaharanAfrica. However, still, there are some deficiencies which impose risks and in front of sub-SaharanAfrica including Nigeria. In recent years, some examples of violence in Saharan African can beseen. In 2008, post electoral violence has taken the lives of 1000 people in Kenya and in 2012,many of the people died at the time of conflicts between South Africa unions. From these examples,it can be said that democracy of Saharan African is insufficient and imperfect. There are only 8nations out of 44 which have come under the category of fair and democratic. 1.2 Problem statementThe main focus of the present study is to analyze the aspects of good governance andeconomic situation in the context of Nigeria. The Department of International Relations andCooperation’s (DIRCO) may be served as a foreign ministry of South African government. It hasfocused on different things which directly relate to local economic development, social and politicalrelations etc. These all have given strength to Africa Agenda in the context of improvedinternational relations (Baylis, Owens and Smith, 2017). In the present time, Saharan Africancontinues to engage in the formulation of strategies that can mutually give benefits to localeconomic development and foster good international relationships. In recent times, DIRCO has1
planned to follow United States’ African Growth and Opportunity Act to improve and maintain agood relationship with the European Union by joint infrastructure projects. This will give strengthto relationships between Sub-Saharan African and the EU. It will help maintain the balance ofdistribution of power at an international level and boost up local emerging economies with theapplication of multilateral trading systems. But Sub-Saharan African politics have faced severalchallenges in respect of developing international relations such as conflicts and violence betweenregional political parties. These have developed misunderstandings and struggles in power relatedaspects between two and more nations at a global level. On the other hand, local regularities bodies should work with groups of citizens and localcommunities to determine sustainable ways in order to attain economic and social needs so thatqualities of lives can be improved. It has been clearly demonstrated from this policy that localgovernment has not been responsible for creating jobs for the public. Some private companies,NGOs etc have taken initiatives in the direction of local economic development (LED). In the lasttwo decades, local authorities of Sun-Saharan Africa have promoted within continent at a high level.According to LED, it is a process where local government or community or both groups managetheir available resources and enter into partnership arrangements with the private sector with theaim of developing new jobs that can stimulate economic activities of a nation (Cloete, Bailey andPillay, 2011). From assessment, it has been identified that Nigeria is one of the biggest oil producer inAfrica but it is getting highly affected from undesirable activities like corruption. This has made alarge impact on local economic development. Along with this, less political stability and lowinitiatives of the government to improve good international relationship have affected the growth ofthe different countries of Saharan African. These have served to create barriers in the direction ofmaking this land credible and a reliable entity state (Cornelissen, Cheru and Shaw, 2016). These aremajor motives that influence this analysis of the need for good governance to foster goodinternational relationships and encourage local content based on economic development to make acountry a more credible and reliable state. With the help of the present research, I will try to explainthe requirements of the development of a good international relationship and cheering local contentbased on economic growth.1.3 Aim and objectivesAim: To critically analyze the need for good governance to foster good international relationshipsand encourage local content based on economic development to make a country, a more credibleand reliable entity state: A study of Nigeria (Sub-Saharan African).2
