摘要
在过去五年中,尼日利亚牧民和农民之间的冲突对尼日利亚社会和尼日利亚国家的整体存在具有破坏性,特别是在尼日利亚中北部、西北部和南部。本文旨在通过该团队对1711名农民和牧民进行的横断面调查,调查尼日利亚农村放牧社区的国家反应与和平建设之间的关系。这项研究采用了非洲牧民与农民冲突的政治经济学来分析这个问题。研究数据采用卡方检验和二元logistic回归模型进行分析。结果表明,保护牧民冲突受害者(P = 0.024)、封锁非法武器来源(P = 0.000)、逮捕领导人(P = 0.043)、提供住所(P = 0.030)、提供食物(P = 0.037)、保护妇女免受性剥削和性虐待(P = 0.019)和使用媒体与农村牧区和平建设呈正相关。该研究进一步发现,当联邦政府(ß = 0.452, P = 0.018)、州政府(ß = 0.522, P = 0.018)、私人(ß = 0.855, P = 0.000)和合作社(ß = 0.744, P = 0.021)建立牧场时,和平可能得到保障,而牧民(ß = -0.355, P = 0.018)、P = 0.029)被允许在尼日利亚的农村放牧社区建立牧场,这意味着联邦和州政府在实施牲畜转型计划时必须谨慎,不要造成一种旨在有利于牧民的印象。原创性/价值据作者所知,本研究是原创的,论文尚未提交给任何期刊。
State responses to herder–farmers conflict and peace-building in rural grazing areas of Nigeria
Purpose Conflicts between herders and farmers in Nigeria in the last five years have been destructive to the corporate existence of Nigerian society and the Nigerian State, especially in Northcentral, Northwestern and Southern Nigeria. This paper aims to investigate the relationships between state responses and peace-building in rural grazing communities in Nigeria using a National Survey on Peace-building in Nigeria conducted by this team using a cross-sectional survey of 1,711 farmers and herders. Design/methodology/approach The study adopted the political economy of the herder–farmers conflict in Africa to contextualise the problem. Data generated from the study were analysed using chi-square test and binary logistic regression model. Findings The results showed that protection of victims of herder–farmers conflict ( P = 0.024), blockage of sources of illicit weapons ( P = 0.000), arrest of leaders ( P = 0.043), provision of shelter ( P = 0.030), provision of food ( P = 0.037), protection of women from sexual exploitation and abuse ( P = 0.019) and use of the media were positively related to peace-building in the rural grazing areas. The study further found that when the Federal Government ( ß = 0.452, P = 0.018), State Government ( ß = 0.522, P = 0.018), private individuals ( ß = 0.855, P = 0.000) and cooperative societies ( ß = 0.744, P = 0.021) established ranches, peace was likely to be guaranteed as opposed to where herders ( ß = –0.355, P = 0.029) were allowed to establish ranches in the rural grazing communities in Nigeria implying that the Federal and State Government must be cautious in the implementation of the Livestock Transformation Plans not to create an impression that it is designed to favour the herders. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is original and the paper has not been submitted to any journal.
