  • Abstract

    • Architecture and structure of states across the globe are affected by the China- Russia-USA triangle. The United Nations Organisation’s positioning as the ‘centroid’ of the triangle to provide global stability got very limited success with diminishing return over last few decades. Now that the UNO fails more to balance between super powers’ ambition for domination in fast evolving complex world, utility of such an institution is increasingly questioned.

  • Abstract

    • The lack of education in nonviolent communication, conflict mediation, servant leadership, and positive coexistence has had devastating consequences in our societies. When conflicts are not managed through dialogue, empathy, and shared responsibility, they easily escalate to extreme levels. This is how they turn into wars, forced displacement, environmental destruction, and the breakdown of the most basic human bonds.

    • The research on the Communication of the Performing Arts of “Human Chess” as a Cultural Heritage aims to (1) study the history and development of human chess as a Thai performing art, (2) study the communication of the performing art of human chess as a cultural heritage, (3) study the communication of performing arts through verbal language, non-verbal language, dance postures, and music for performing human chess, 4) study the feasibility of performing human chess to be an intangible cultural heritage according to UNESCO, and (5) study the communication formats of performing human chess in various contexts. The researcher used a mixed research methodology of quantitative and qualitative research. The study results found that human chess was developed from Thai chess as a board game and is a cultural heritage of Thailand. In terms of communication through human chess, this research found that human chess is an integrated and interconnected form of communication, involving Wai Khru ceremony (paying homage to teachers) as ritual communication, singing as verbal communication, music as musical communication, dance as body language
    (nonverbal) communication, and performance as arts performance communication. Therefore, the researcher found that the idea to conserve, continue, and develop human chess alongside Thai chess, would help to spread human chess both domestically and internationally. It would thus make human chess unique to the Sports Association of Thailand under royal patronage. In addition, the ceremonies to pay homage to teachers, show Thainess, reflecting a major cultural heritage of Thailand.

Bridging Educational Disparities in Conflict-Affected Regions of Nigeria 10.30954/2454-9525.01.2025.4 Category - Research Article

  • Abstract
  • |
    • This paper examines the persistent educational disparities in conflict-affected regions of Nigeria through a political economy lens, highlighting how governance structures and socio-political dynamics influence access to quality education. It draws on recent literature to analyze the assumptions underpinning educational policies in fragile contexts and identifies systemic barriers that disproportionately affect marginalized groups, including girls, rural populations, and children with disabilities. The findings underscore that unequal educational access perpetuates social and economic inequalities, hindering Nigeria’s broader development goals. The paper outlines key strategies for reform, emphasizing equity-focused policies, inclusive teaching practices, and community engagement. It advocates for data-driven planning, sustainable financing, and the alignment of national education strategies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Furthermore, it highlights the importance of fostering political will, cross-sectoral collaboration, and innovation especially in leveraging technology to overcome geographic and infrastructural challenges. By proposing a comprehensive theory
    of change, this study provides actionable recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders to close the educational gap in Nigeria’s most vulnerable regions. Addressing these disparities is not only essential for individual empowerment but also for achieving long-term stability, social cohesion, and sustainable development.

Post-disarmament Peace-building Strategies in Karamoja, Uganda: Integrating Gandhian Nonviolence and Transitional Justice 10.30954/2454-9525.01.2025.5 Category - Research Article
PDF

  • Abstract
  • |
    • This paper re-examines the peace-building interventions that were established in post-disarmament Karamoja which ushered in and sustained relative peace in the period (2010-2019). It identifies the challenges and gaps that compromised optimal results to the extent of attaining lasting peace; and further attempts to find possible points of integration of Gandhian nonviolence to address the gaps. The challenges identified include use of excessive force by security forces during disarmament that reproduced historical legacies of the human rights violation in Karamoja; shared burden of penalties given to culprits of stolen cattle, and their families and/or immediate neighbours, in the event that the culprit fails to pay back the required number of animals. Two main gaps are identified: The environmental peace-building approaches applied laid more focus on peace at the community level inadequately addressed ‘inner conversion”, which lies at the core of Gandhi’s satyagraha to prevent all forms of violence. The paper also reveals the critical need for transitional justice in Karamoja to address the human rights violations perpetuated by security forces during disarmament, in addition to the long decades of social, economical, political and ecological injustices that the Karimojong have endured.
