Summary/Abstract
Despite the ongoing conflict between farmers and herdsmen in Nigeria, researchers are yet to substantially focus attention on ways of empowering victims of the conflict through skills acquisition. This study attempts to fill this gap by assessing the effectiveness of theatre for development as a communication intervention strategy for positively influencing the perceptions, knowledge and behavioural intentions related to painting, weaving and fashion and design of victims of the conflict between farmers and herdsmen in Nigeria. A quasi-experiment was utilised with 470 participants. Theatre for development was found to be an effective communication intervention strategy for positively influencing the participants regarding the three arts and crafts examined. The implications of these results for human capital theory and the theory of planned behaviour are explored, and recommendations are made.

Summary/Abstract
How do we understand military skill/skills, what is it to be militarily skilled, and how do we acquire military skill/skills? Answering these three questions is essential to understanding the ongoing military transformation of developed Western countries. Universalism and contextualism (two competing ethical/epistemological positions) are used to sketch out a typological framework for explaining how different military paradigms/concepts treat "good" soldiering. Universalism is strongly connected with the traditional military paradigm of static invasion-based defense, while contextualism is connected to flexible expeditionary force-based defenses of the twenty-first century. Transformative changes over the past decade illustrate the value of the contextualist paradigm, suggesting that the universalist paradigm may no longer be useful for a twenty-first century expeditionary force.
