Rethinking National Security in Nigeria: Analysis of Predisposing Conditions and Prospects for Stable Polity

Year 2011, Volume: 7 Issue: 14, 101 - 116, 01.05.2011

Abstract

Nijerya halkının bugün karşı karşıya kaldığı en büyük sorunlardan birinin (siyasi cinayetler, suikastlar, seçimlerde yaşanan şiddet olayları, etnik temizlik, toplumsal ve dini çatışmalar, Nijerya Deltası krizi, adam kaçırmalar, silahlı soygunlar ve bombalama olayları, vb. ile örneklendirilebilecek) güvenlik sorunu olduğu çok açıktır. Bu çalışma, ülkenin demokratik yönetime geçtiği Mayıs 1999'dan bu yana işbaşına gelen Nijerya hükümetlerinin ülkede anayasada belirtildiği şekliyle güvenliği sağlamakta başarısız olduklarını öne sürmektedir. Hiç şüphesiz ki, bir ülkenin güvenliği, ülkede herhangi bir türde gelişmenin yaşanması yolunda çok önemli bir unsurdur. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma, Nijerya'da ulusal güvenliği tehdit eden unsurları incelemeyi ve Nijerya'yı güvenli bir ülke haline getirmek için yapılması gerekenler konusunda önerilerde bulunmayı hedeflemektedir.
