Abstract
The economic or political economy of conflicts and civil wars in Africa is an expanding field with an increase in research and literature especially in the last few decades. However, less attention has been devoted to the role of political economy in peacebuilding operations/interventions. This dissertation examines the extent to which political economy, specifically its elements in terms of interests, incentives, and institutions shapes the conceptualization, design and implementation of Disarmament, Demobilisation and Reintegration (DDR) and the prospects for sustainable peace. The Niger Delta Amnesty (NDA) is used as an empirical case study.:CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1Introduction 1.1State of the art 1.1.1The political economy of peacebuilding 1.1.2Institutions in rentier states 1.1.3Resource curse discourse and interests 1.1.4Wealth distribution and incentives 1.2Research question 1.3Problem statement 1.4Overview of research methodology 1.4.1Structural framework of the political economy approach 1.4.1.1Neoliberalism Approach 1.4.1.2Neopatrimonialism approach 1.4.2Comment on sources 1.4.2.1Research design 1.4.2.2Research method 1.4.2.3Data generation method 1.4.2.4Method of data analysis 1.5Challenges in the field 1.6The structure of the dissertation CHAPTER TWO HISTORICIZING OIL CONFLICT IN THE NIGER DELTA REGION 2Introduction 2.1Analyzing the Origins and dynamics of the Niger Delta Conflict 2.1.1The Geography and People of the Niger Delta 2.1.2Pre-colonial Niger Delta and the Emergence of European Trade in Nigeria (1444 ' 1850) 2.1.3Colonial Considerations: Increasing Agitations, Palm oil Production and the Discovery of Oil (1851 ' 1960) 2.1.4Independent and Post Independent Nigeria and the Foundations of the Oil Conflict (1960 ' Present) 2.1.5Militant Movements in the Niger Delta in the Recent Past (1990s ' Present) 2.2Nigerian Political Economy, State Policy Response and the Nature of the Nigerian State 2.2.1A Survey of the Nigerian Political Economy 2.2.2State-centric Responses to the Niger Delta Oil Conflict (1960 ' 2009) 2.2.2.1Positive 'Carrot' Approach 2.2.2.2Coercive 'Stick' Approach 2.2.3An Explanation of the Nature and character of the Nigerian State 2.3Conclusion CHAPTER THREE THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF STATE AND NON-STATE INSTITUTIONS IN NIGERIA 3Introduction 3.1Furthering Institutional Scholarship and Debates 3.1.1The Mainstream Debate 3.1.2The Critical School 3.2State-to-State Institutional Interaction 3.2.1Institutions as 'Rules of the Game' 3.2.2Differential Power Distribution 3.2.3Formal Institutional Bargaining 3.3Non-state Driven Institutional Interlinkage 3.3.1Institutions as socially shared rules/traditional systems 3.4State and Non-state Institutional Exchange 3.4.1Institutional Bricolage 3.4.2Institutional Credibility 3.5State, Non-state and International Collaboration 3.5.1Complexities of NDA and DDR Institutions 3.5.2Complementarity of NDA and DDR Institutions 3.5.3Limited Access Order in NDA and DDR Institutions 3.6Implications of Statutory, Non-Statutory and International Institutions to NDA and DDR 3.6.1Lack of Coordination 3.6.2Exacerbation of Conflict 3.6.3Weak Hybridized Institutions 3.7Conclusion CHAPTER FOUR CONCEPTUALISING INTERESTS AND INCENTIVES IN THE FRAMING OF THE NIGER DELTA AMNESTY AND DDR PROGRAM 4Introduction 4.1Mapping Actor Network Analysis in the Niger Delta Conflict 4.1.1The Nigerian Government 4.1.2Oil Communities 4.1.3Multinational Oil Companies (MNOCs) 4.2Contested Interests: Actors, Encounters and Entanglements in the Niger Delta 4.2.1Powerful Versus Powerless Encounters 4.2.2Elitists Entanglements 4.2.3Intra and Inter Community Contestations 4.2.4MNOCs and Niger Delta Communities' Confrontations 4.3Conclusion CHAPTER FIVE A CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE NIGER DELTA AMNESTY, DISARMAMENT, DEMOBILIZATION AND REINTEGRATION PROGRAM 5Introduction 5.1Amnesty: A Peacebuilding Practice 5.2The NDA and DDR Program and the Politics of conceptualization 5.3NDA and DDR Program and the Art of Negotiation 5.4NDA and DDR: The Practice of Planning 5.5The Implementation Process of the Niger Delta Amnesty and DDR Program 5.5.1The Disarmament Phase 5.5.2The Demobilisation Phase 5.5.3The Reintegration Phase 5.6Niger Delta Amnesty and DDR Process: A Shift from a Neoliberal Integrated Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Standards (IDDRS) Principles to a Neopatrimonial DDR Practice 5.6.1From a people centered approach to a patron-client driven approach 5.6.2From a flexible, transparent and accountable doctrine to a non-transparent and unaccountable DDR process 5.6.3Nationally Owned 5.6.4From an Integrated IDDRS Norm to a non-integrated approach 5.6.5From a well-planned IDDRS to a haphazard DDR 5.7Conclusion CHAPTER SIX GENERAL CONCLUSION 6Introduction 6.1Main Research Questions and Empirical Findings 6.2Theoretical and Empirical Contribution 6.3Potential Concerns for Future Research BIBLIOGRAPHY |
