Securitizing small arms and light weapons in support of regional security: perspective from West Africa / Banini, Daniel Kofi   Journal Article
Banini, Daniel Kofi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract West Africa’s Moratorium on Importation, Exportation, and Manufacture of Light Weapons was adopted in 1998, and the Convention on Small Arms and Light Weapons, their Ammunition, and Other Related Materials was adopted in 2006. The Moratorium and the Convention are more than two decades old, respectively. However, there is little knowledge of their effectiveness in reducing arms flow. This research evaluates how ECOWAS members implemented the Moratorium and Convention to determine compliance trends. It uses a theoretical framework of domestic political legitimacy as a crucial mechanism to explain compliance variations. Political legitimacy is imperative for states’ and domestic groups’ behavior, and its dearth can lead to obtaining arms illegally, which the Moratorium and Convention seek to prevent. The empirics use case studies about Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire to infer how political legitimacy variations influence compliance with the agreement.

Security sector corruption and military effectiveness: the influence of corruption on countermeasures against Boko Haram in Nigeria / Banini, Daniel Kofi   Journal Article
Banini, Daniel Kofi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The paper explores connections between corruption and military effectiveness. It positions efforts to defeat Boko Haram in Nigeria within the doorstep of governance challenges. The empirical evidence has documented how the ebb and flow of corruption affected the effectiveness of military responses to defeat Boko Haram. The findings reveal that corruption in the defence sector weakened the military’s capacity to respond to security threats swiftly. However, efforts to address corruption positively led to enhanced military capacity, leading to a temporary victory.
