42 China-Malawi Relations
Issue 4 AFRICAN December 2014 EAST-ASIAN AFFAIRS THE CHINA MONITOR China-Malawi relations: an analysis of trade patterns and development impli- cations by Theodora C. Thindwa* Centre for Security Studies, Mzuzu University Mzuzu, Malawi Abstract As China is emerging as a force to reckon with in the 21st century it has formed economic and political partnerships with a number of countries especially in Africa, including Malawi. There are contending views on China’s role in Africa with some viewing it as a neo-colonial power and others as Africa’s development partner. This paper investigates how China-Malawi relationship has contributed to economic development in Malawi. This limits the scope of the study to Chinese Government investments directly dealing with the Malawi Government. The article analyses Chi- na-Malawi trade patterns, the number of jobs created by Chinese investments and other contributions by China. Exploratory research design, aspects of descriptive research and mixed methods of analysis is employed to uncover the nature of China-Malawi relations between 2007 and 2012. Using secondary data sources and interviews with principal trade officers, the study found both positive and negative trends. The level of Malawian exports to China is low compared to Chinese exports to Malawi. This entails trade losses for Malawi which in turn has implications for development and also for the society that *Theodora C.

MALAWI Government Releases Many Political Prisoners Jack Mapanje
April 24, 1991 MALAWI Government releases many political prisoners Jack Mapanje and others still held Africa Watch welcomes the release of 87 political prisoners in Malawi, including some 25 held under presidential detention orders. The releases represent a significant step by the government towards complying with Malawi's legal obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights, which it ratified a year ago. However, in other respects Malawi's performance still falls far short of the standards required by the Charter. In particular Africa Watch remains concerned about the fate of about 19 prisoners still detained without charge at Mikuyu prison, who include the internationally-renowned poet Jack Mapanje. The release of political prisoners began at the beginning of January, when George Mtafu, Margaret Marango Banda, Blaise Machila and William Masiku were set free: George Mtafu, who had been held without charge at Chichiri Prison, is Malawi's only neurosurgeon. He was arrested in February 1989 because he had criticized discrimination against civil servants who originated from Malawi's northern region, in particular the forcible redeployment of school teachers to their district of origin. Margaret Marango Banda, a former announcer with the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation, was an official of the Chitukuko Cha Amai mu Malawi (CCAM), the national women's organization. She is believed to have criticized corruption in the CCAM, which is headed by Cecilia Tamanda Kadzamira, the country's "Official Hostess." She was arrested in July 1988 and held without charge at Zomba Prison. Blaise Machila used to be a lecturer in English at Chancellor College in the University of Malawi. -
Foreign Policy and the Centerpiece Question in Nigeria
Journal of Law and Global Policy E-ISSN 2579-051X P-ISSN 2695-2424 Vol 6. No 1. 2021 www.iiardpub.org Foreign Policy and the Centerpiece Question in Nigeria Remi Chukwudi Okeke, Ph.D Department of Public Administration Madonna University, Okija Campus, Anambra State Nigeria Email: [email protected] Jeremiah Nwachukwu Eze Department of International Relations Madonna University, Okija Campus, Anambra State Nigeria Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT This essay re-examines the issue of foreign policy and the centerpiece question in Nigeria. The current contribution therefore actually borders on the reexamination of a subsisting debate in Nigeria’s foreign policy dispositions. The problem of the study emanates from a supposition that Nigeria’s foreign policy is currently at grievous loose ends, or at best, only residing in the mysterious imaginations of the nation’s international relations managers. The central research question of this work is accordingly concisely denotable as follows: Whither foreign policy and the centerpiece question in Nigeria? Consequently, the objectives of the study are to (i) interrogate the issue of foreign policy and the centerpiece question in Nigeria (ii) revisit the issue of Africa as the centerpiece of Nigeria’s foreign policy and (iii) make recommendations on the way forward for the Nigerian state in purposeful foreign policy designs. Data for the study was generated from secondary sources, and the data analysis framed on systematic argumentation. The theoretical framework of the paper is the realist theory of international relations. The paper finally proposes a reimagined reintroduction of Africa as the centerpiece of Nigeria’s foreign policy, in opposition to the current foreign policy uncertainties in the country. -

AN ANALYSIS OF NIGERIAN FOREIGN POLICY THE EVOLUTION OF POLITICAL PARANOIA Michael Sinclair ISBN : 0 908371 11X The South African Institute of International Affairs Jan Smuts House P 0 Box 31596 BRAAMFONTEIN 2017 April 1983 THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NIGERIAN FOREIGN POLICY At independence in 1960, the Nigerian state represented a contrived federal balance between three ethnically and politically divided federal states. The political rivalry and tension between the three factions precluded the evolution of any specific 'Nigerian ideology or doctrine* and the emergence of any single charismatic national leader (33 was the case in most other emergent African states) who could be identified as the 'voice of Nigeria'. Thus, the characteristic conservatism of Nigerian foreign policy at independence, often interpreted as weakness or lack of sovereignty (Prime Minister Balewa was patronisingly , referred to as the "golden voice of Africa"), is more realistically ascribed to the uncertainty of the Nigerian political leadership* s domestic political footing. -

Mainstreaming Corruption Poverty and Development in Nigeria
Brazilian Journal of African Studies e-ISSN 2448-3923 | ISSN 2448-3915 | v.2, n.4 | p.184-197 | Jul./Dec. 2017 MAINSTREAMING CORRUPTION POVERTY AND DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA Jolaade Omede1 Arinze Ngwube2 Introduction The culture of corruption has continued to plague the Nigeria society in all sectors at an alarming rate creating culture of acceptability of such a way of life. That corruption is endemic and has assumed a national way of life is a disturbing reality in Nigeria. It is this light that Achebe (1983, 38) avers that anyone who can say that corruption in Nigeria has not yet reached an alarming proportion is either a fool, crook or else does not live in Nigeria. He further posits that the situation has become so worse to the extent that keeping a Nigeria from being corrupt is like preventing a goat from eating yam. Corroborating this view, Anazodo, Okoye and Ezenwile (2012, 124) submit that corruption in Nigeria has affected all the political, economic and social facets of Nigeria and these are responsible for decayed infrastructure,downturn of the economy, fragile political institutions and steady decline in all institutions of national development. However corruption is a universal phenomenon, the rate and toleration of corruption acts vary from place to place, basically determined by the socio-cultural environment in a particular place. In Nigeria, corruption has become strange than a fairy tale increasing and manifesting in unimaginable magnitude is raging between and within communities, gradually assuming the character of the society. It has to be tolerated and encourage by the agents of socialisation (the family, the school, the church/ mosque, peer groups, media, occupational groups, etc) which ordinarily should have been responsible for disapproving acts that are anti-social, anti- 1 Department of Political Science, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. -
