Title	:	Eco-Spirituality in Alice Walker's The Colour Purple
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Dr. Santosh Kumari
	:	10.9790/0837-1420103

Abstract: Alice Walker, a proponent of eco-spirituality, endeavors to usher the flourishing spirit of solidarity and Justice through little acts of earthly functions which may transform our environment and adorn the surroundings with heavenly touch of natural beauty. Earthly delights always in abundance, revel and recognize wholeness and integrity, though unfortunately it is man himself who never bothers to explore and avail the worshipful treasures of bliss on this planet. Walker as an eco-spiritualist attempts to relocate the redemptive springs of earthly clinging that evidently protects and nourishes human family without any abuse or exploitation. Keywords: Ecospirituality, Vedanta, Christianity, Ethos

Authors	:	Grace Atim
	:	10.9790/0837-1420409

Abstract: This paper seeks to investigate the impact of refugees on conflict in Africa and in the process posits that a refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence. A refuge has a well founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes refugees fleeing their countries-may trigger conflicts between sending and receiving states. This paper asset that both refugee-sending states and refugee-receiving states are more likely to initiate militarized disputes against the other. More generally, it contributes to a broader research agenda which examine the mutually reinforcing relationship between conflict within and between states. Often, the issues and actors in civil wars span national boundaries and become part of a regional security dynamic, blurring firm distinctions between domestic and international politics. Other challenges of refugee including culture shock, crime and criminality as well as health challenges emanating from refugee are also looked at. Key Words: Refugees, Conflict, Security, Host country,Border, War, Asylum, Spill-over effect, Migration, Communities.

Abstract: There is no mincing of words that Nigeria is a disorganized society with very weak ineffective institutional (police, church and family) control .The economy is comatose. In a society, such as this, it is inevitable that they will be a high rate of unemployment, especially among the youth and women who are the weakest among the weak. In such society too, it is not unexpected that there would be widespread development of a negative and rebellious culture such as cultism, crime, prostitution, and other deviant behaviors. Indeed due to the high level of unemployment in the country, most parent and guardian device various illegitimate means of meeting their ends by including in trafficking in person. Young women are adolescent, who are promised lucrative job abroad usually, fined them being turn into prostitute on arrival. Within the country itself, women face discrimination in different area of Endeavour as well as battering from their husband. the paper is an exposition of this menace. It highlights the lost as well as the roles of women and youth in the economy development of Nigeria.

Title	:	Globalization and Public Sector Reform in Third World Countries: The Nigerian Experience
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Ashaver, Benjamin Teryima
	:	10.9790/0837-1421322

Abstract: The 1980 witnessed public sector reforms in third world countries in cognizance with global trends, done principally to re-align the economies of these countries on the path of recovery. Prior to the reforms, the economies of some of the countries were at the verge of collapse. In Africa especially countries that embraced public sector reforms did so wholesomely in line with International Monetary Fund and World Bank conditionalities. Generally the reforms did not produce the expected results. This has been largely attributed to faulty premise on which the reform programmes were anchored, lack of political will by leaders of these countries, lack of transparency in the implementation of the reform programmes, failure to clearly identify and articulate domestic imperatives vis-à-vis response to global necessities. For public sector reform to achieve desired results required getting the basic right.

Title	:	Breaking News; the Naira goes to the moon: The intriguing story of corruption in Nigeria.
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Danazumi Bukar
	:	10.9790/0837-1422326

Abstract: The story of corruption in Nigeria has an appalling profile. Corruption has eaten deep into our national fabric to the extent that it has involuted the machinery of the state. This accounts for the abysmal proportions of the country's corruption saga. Thus the state apparatus is being used for primitive accumulation by those who control it instead of using it to build our national economy for the benefit of the citizens of the country. It is also this fact that is accountable for the intractability of corruption in the country and its pervasiveness. It will therefore require a huge political action to deal with the ugly situation.

Key words: corruption, involution, institutionalization, state intriguing.

1]. The concept used here considers colonialism not only from the usual naked violence and violations it carried but also the subtle distortions it introduced that are today more difficult to rid the country of such as the crass exhibition of lack of accountability shown by the ruling elite.

[3]. The educated elite were a creation of colonialism hence their susceptibility to this process especially when compared to the peasantry whose linkages with the colonial state was vicarious.
[4]. This view of the Nigerian ruling class may appear too extreme but it is based on their antecedents since independence.
[5]. This label is predicated on the fact that this class was not able to cure itself of their shortcomings and contradictions.
[6]. This intrinsic poverty is responsible for the general deterioration in the quality of life in Africa. See Bokelmann, O; Akinwumi, UM; Agwuele, A. D eds, African leadership challenges and other issues, 2012.
[7]. Professor Elaigwu, J. I recently dwelled extensively on this futility of development using "western models of nation- building".
[8]. It is not surprising that this class failed to keep the ship of state a float as the country sunk into the abyss of a three year civil war between 1967 and 1970.

Title	:	Knowledge and Power in a Pastoral Landscape: Agrarian Struggles in Southern Matabeleland
Country	:	Zimbabwe
Authors	:	Dr. Clifford Mabhena
	:	10.9790/0837-1422735

Abstract: The Fast Track land Reform and Resettlement programme embarked on by the Zimbabwe state since 2000 has seen vast tracks of land expropriated from former commercial farmers. The justification being that there was an uneven distribution of land between the white settler community and the indigenous people. The village type resettlement and the small "commercial farms‟ models, have been adopted by the state and applied across the whole country without taking into consideration varying landscapes of provinces. The focus of these models is provision of arable land, a situation suitable for a better rainfall region such as Mashonaland and not necessarily the dry Matabeleland region A hegemonic tendency by the post colonial state in Zimbabwe has seen reduced livelihoods for Southern Matabeleland residents. Programmes and projects viewed as workable in Mashonaland have been brought "top-down‟ to the region despite resistance by most residents. State land re-distribution has over the years been biased towards acquisition of land for village settlements and crop farming, based on political and technocratic plans designed for Mashonaland provinces. Southern Matabeleland is a dry and live-stocking region, and therefore prefers land re-distribution programmes that give prominence to grazing land. Provincial plans that at least capture interests and needs of the people have been given marginal attention by the state and its apparatus, resulting in development projects that do not address livelihoods of the larger population of this region.In this article, I argue that state land re-distribution in southern Matabeleland has not addressed the felt needs of people in Matabeleland South because of the inappropriate hegemonic models of the state and its institutional apparatus. People pin their hopes on livestock for a livelihood and therefore, land re-distribution should address the issue of grazing more than village settlements and crop farming

Title	:	Early Khasi Response to Christian Missions: Challenges, Acceptance and Assertion.
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Magdalyne Syiemlieh
	:	10.9790/0837-1423643

Abstract: Christian missions came to the Khasis of Meghalaya early in the 19th century, independent of the colonial policy but in many ways facilitated by the new political and administrative developments. The first mission among the tribe was the English Baptist Mission of Serampore. This was followed by the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Mission which commenced its activities in 1841. Though the Catholics had been in the region much earlier their formal activity of mission commended in 1890. This paper makes an attempt to study three aspects of the history of Christianity in the region and in particular among the Khasis, one of the first of the tribes who encountered and engaged with Christian mission. It studies the early history of the establishment of the missions, and the challenges the missionaries encountered and the response both reactionary and acceptance of the faith among sections of the tribe. The growth is registered and the main activities of the churches are highlighted. The paper concludes with the assertion of the tribe, the establishment of the Seng Khasi and the profession of the Christian faith among the tribe.

Title	:	The World of Quacks: A Parallel Health Care System in Rural West Bengal
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Runi Datta
	:	10.9790/0837-1424453

Abstract: Health as a matter of right is recognized throughout the world for its intrinsic value. India as a signatory to the Alma Ata Declaration is committed to provide 'Health for All' irrespective of any discrimination on the grounds of rich or poor and urban or rural. The National Health Policies are formed on the basis of this principle. But inequality of opportunities, the gross mismatch between the stated objectives and the resources available and the inability of the state to bring quality health care within the rich of all has increased the vulnerability of the people particularly the rural segment and led to the emergence of a new tier of physicians, running a parallel heath care system and playing a formidable role in the rural health care market as rural health providers. This group of self –styled practitioners called quacks, despite in expertise is doing a good business in the villages taking advantage of the lacunae in the public health care system. As testimony to their legitimacy, they manage certificates from unauthorized and unrecognized institutions. Against this backdrop the present write up attempts to highlight the mode of operation of quacks in the villages in West Bengal and also to explore the nature of functioning of institutions that create quacks

Title	:	MGNREGA and Financial Inclusion – An Inter-District Analysis of Odisha
Country	:	India
Authors	:	Minati Sahoo
	:	10.9790/0837-1425461

Abstract: The study attempts to have an inter-district analysis of the performance of MGNREGA in Odisha. Among 23 states, Odisha is having an index of financial inclusion value of 0.2 and is at 15th rank. Thus the extent of financial inclusion is found to be significantly low in Odisha. Financial inclusion is the key to empowerment of poor, underprivileged and low skilled rural households as they compose 70 percentage of Indian population. Financial Inclusion can truly lift the financial condition and improve the standards of lives of the poor and the disadvantaged. To fasten the pace of financial inclusion, the Government of India in 2008 declared that wage payments, under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, the world's largest rural public works programme, would be made through banks and post offices. As MGNREGA is a widely discussed public policy and knowledge about it is the need of the hour, the present paper will analyze how the scheme is helping in promoting financial inclusion via wage payment through banks and post offices in Odisha. It will also highlight some of the problems that are encountered when banks and post offices are used as a means for wage payment to accelerate the speed of financial inclusion and remedial measures that could be taken to tackle these problems.

Title	:	Democratic Transition and Crime in Nigeria
Country	:	Nigeria
Authors	:	Adigwe, Felix Azogu

Abstract: Change is a constant feature of every society. Some changes are gradual barely unnoticed while some are radical, turbulent and conflictual. Some consequences of these changes are sometimes unintended, unforeseen and unplanned for. These types present more challenges to societies. It has been established that societies in transition are usually faced with certain challenges; crime and violence being some of them (see: Nedcor, 1996, Zveki,c 1998, Savelsberg, 1995, Crilinskiy, 1998) This study seeks to certain the nature and level of crime and violence that Nigeria has witnessed since the inception of her democratic transition. Nigeria embarked on democratic transition in 1998 after about sixteen years of military rule. The period of the democratic transition witnessed an upsurge in violent and criminal acts across the country. These manifested in different guises such as religious and ethnic conflicts, militant agitations and so on. Could this increase in crime rate and violence be associated with the democratic transition? This study sought to answer this question. Key words: Transition, Crime and Democratisation
