Abstract:
این مقاله به بررسی تاثیرات رهبری بر درگیریهای خشونتآمیز در آفریقا میپردازد. در طول سالها آفریقا تحت تاثیر درگیریهای خشونتآمیز قرار گرفته است، این تا حدی توضیح میدهد که چرا آفریقا هنوز به عنوان یک قاره در حال توسعه در نظر گرفته میشود. درگیریهای خشونت آمیز منجر به تخریب جانها و اموال در بسیاری از مناطق آفریقا شده است. بسیاری از اردوگاههای آوارگان داخلی در کشورهای مختلف که به دلیل درگیریهای خشونتآمیز به وجود آمدهاند، بدون شک بر زندگی اجتماعی-اقتصادی و سیاسی کشورهای آسیبدیده تاثیر منفی گذاشتهاند. دولتهای این کشورها میلیاردها ارز کشورهای مختلف خود را که قرار است برای پروژهها و برنامههای توسعهای در تلاش برای مبارزه با درگیریهای خشونتآمیز و همچنین مراقبت از آوارگان داخلی استفاده شود، هدر دادهاند. این مقاله ماهیت کیفی دارد زیرا دادههای آن از منابع ثانویه مانند کتابهای درسی، مجلات، مجلات و روزنامهها استخراج شده است. روشهای تحلیل دادهها در این مقاله توصیفی و تاریخی است. چارچوب نظری این مقاله نظریه سرخوردگی- پرخاشگری است. این مقاله در میان دیگران توصیه میکند که باید حکومتداری خوب در آفریقا تشویق شود زیرا میتواند راه طولانی در کاهش درگیریهای خشونتآمیز داشته باشد و همچنین توسعه آن را ارتقا دهد.
This paper examined the effects of leadership on violent conflicts in Africa. Over the years Africa has been affected negatively by violent conflicts, this partly explains why Africa is still regarded as a developing continent. Violent conflicts have led to the destruction of lives and properties in many parts of Africa. Many internally displaced camps in various countries occasioned by violent conflicts no doubt have affected negatively the socio-economic and political life of the affected countries. Governments of such countries have wasted billions of their various countries’ currencies which are supposed to be used for development projects and programmes in trying to combat violent conflicts and also take care of internally displaced persons. This paper is qualitative in nature because data for it were derived from secondary sources such as text book, journals, magazines and newspapers. The data analysis methods adopted in this paper are descriptive and historical. The theoretical framework for this paper is the frustration-aggression theory. The paper recommends among others that there should be encouragement of good governance in Africa because it can go a long way in reducing violent conflicts and also promote its development.
Machine summary:
The paper recommends among others that there should be encouragement of good governance in Africa because it can go a long way in reducing violent conflicts and also promote its development.
Failure of the political leaders in most parts of Africa to provide public goods is partly responsible for the continuous existence of violent conflicts.
Journal of cultural leadership studies, 4(2), 2022, P 87-104 According to Gilpin, “the number of African countries embroiled in violent conflicts rose sharply in the 1960s as groups contested the legitimacy of post-colonial governance structure.
These conflicts have resulted in destruction of lives and property, the internal displacement of people, a region wide refugee crisis, poverty and disease, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, human and drug trafficking, illegal exploitation of natural resources and banditry (Afolabi, 2019:125).
Many violent conflicts in Africa came into being because of the inability of most African leaders to pilot the affairs of their various countries in such a way as to allow individuals ample opportunity to pursue and achieve their goal of good life with the provision of public goods such as roads, bridges, ports, sanitation, portable water, electric power, telecommunications, public transport and socio-economic and political infrastructure, schools, clinics, markets, courts vaccination programmes, state bureaucracy.
Bad leadership is what is predominant in many parts of Africa and this explains the high level of occurrence of violence conflicts in those countries.
