It focuses on security, maintenance as well as various development pursuits encompassing the political and economic dimensions of Afghanistan. Being a neighbor of Pakistan, Afghanistan faced a number of challenges, as both countries rely upon a cordial and mutually cooperative relation. However, there exists a trust deficit and the war against terrorism has itself become an issue of major concern between the respective countries. Afghanistan urges Pakistan to do more to stop the alleged extremist infiltrations into Afghan territory. While, Pakistan repeatedly denies such charges and holds Afghan government itself responsible for its failure to check cross border incursions. Foreign powers, especially the Indian involvement in Afghan internal affairs has affected its relations with Pakistan. According to some analysts, the situation has worsened to such an extent that its long term national interests have been adversely affected, especially in the post 9/11 scenario. Pakistan and Afghanistan inherit a great significance for each other. Geo-strategic, socio-political, economic, and other reasons make it a compulsion for both countries to have a cordial relation in their respective vested interests and in the larger interests of peace in the regional as well as international context. After the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Pakistan hosted a million refugees. Since then it’s a burden on the economy of Pakistan. But, Pakistan never complained to Afghanistan and the international community. These two potential nations of South Asia can defeat and remove many ills faced because of some misunderstandings and ineffective foreign policy. But, such a prospect is only possible if the leadership of both countries successfully tackles all outstanding issues in their bilateralrelationship.","PeriodicalId":118558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Sciences & Public Affairs","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115739031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article answer the question on how the authoritarian China where the Communist Party and government affairs are largely inseparable manages to push and secure investments in pluralized and frail democracies in both Tanzania and Zambia while keeping ties with ruling political parties at the same time disengage with other civil voices and undermines corporate citizenship. \u0000The article analyzes China’s adaption to win and secure investments and the misplays evolve such as Confucianism crushes with pluralism democracies, party to party outreach whilst sidelines other political actors, maltreatment of media/PR/CSRs, profit maximization at the expense of humanity and Beijing loosening control and monitoring of overseas Chinese enterprises that have distorted China’s image and turn into battle field for pluralized and populism politics. Based on interviews from 26 respondents who were purposively and snow balling sampled and 73 extensive secondary resources, the article concludes that there is uncertain to the future of the authoritarian mono-party China’s economic presence in pluralized Africa and suggests the need for laying new foundations and approaches to advance Chinese political-economic relations with Zambia, Tanzania and Africa in general.","PeriodicalId":118558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Sciences & Public Affairs","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128370171","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The identified reasons have been the cutbacks on the amnesty arrangements, the environmental degradation and continuous deprivation of the oil rich regions from the proceeds of the oil derived from their region and demand for ownership of the region by residents. This work however, through the means of empirical study pinpoints the several reasons for the resurgence of militancy in the Niger Delta region, and the viability of the group’s bluff in crippling the Nigerian economy, if the ongoing situation is not controlled. Both primary and secondary data was collected for the purpose of clarity and specificity in this research. 300 copies of questionnaires were administered, journal articles, book, newspaper and internet sources were used in collection of data The study recommends some viable solutions, such as giving more credit to the importance of Niger Delta region, developmental projects that are supervised by stakeholders and disinterested organizations in the regions.","PeriodicalId":118558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Sciences & Public Affairs","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132272426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the number of youths forming a significant percentage of Malaysia’s population, targeting eligible youths for the various political parties is imperative in winning the elections. Furthermore, youth participation and engagement in national politics have been impactful in the direction and development of Malaysia’s government and administration. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify the influence factors on the intention to vote in the next general election among youths in rural areas. The study was conducted using a quantitative design, crosssectional survey. The unit of analysis was identified through stratified sampling technique. From a sample size of 400 (n=400), the returned rate was 370 or 92.5%. The findings revealed that there was a significant relationship between the factors of youth’s to vote in the next general election based on four variables; awareness, persuading method, spatial representation, and political vote choice. The regression analysis ranked awareness as the most influential factor in the youths’ intentions to vote. The study also found that the moderating role of gender is the most significant factor among the four influence factors. The findings suggest that the rural youths’ intentions to vote in the next general election would be intensified if regular promotions are done to enhance awareness. Therefore, the relevant stakeholders should take note of this when campaigning for their party. Aside from that, the findings provide additional literature to the body of knowledge on the political inclination of the younger generation.","PeriodicalId":118558,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Political Sciences & Public Affairs","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
