Abstract

abstract:The legitimacy of the Nigerian state has been challenged at different times since the attainment of political independence by actors either clamoring for self-determination or propagating exclusive religious agenda. Curiously, the state, rather than engaging these groups (including Boko Haram) in dialogue, has usually chosen to confront them. This paper interrogates how the Boko Haram insurgency constitutes a major challenge to the legitimacy of the Nigerian state and how the state has responded, given its experiences in handling violent challenges to its legitimacy.
尼日利亚的国家合法性和博科圣地叛乱
摘要:自从尼日利亚获得政治独立以来,国家的合法性在不同时期受到了各种行为者的挑战,这些行为者要么大声要求自决,要么宣传排他性的宗教议程。奇怪的是,政府通常选择对抗这些组织,而不是与这些组织(包括博科圣地)进行对话。本文探讨了博科圣地叛乱如何构成对尼日利亚政府合法性的重大挑战,以及鉴于尼日利亚在处理对其合法性的暴力挑战方面的经验,该国如何作出回应。
