The Nexus between Poor and Bad Governance, and Sub-National Conflicts in Africa ()
ABSTRACT
Conflict
has been attributed to Africa’s developmental woes. Several causal factors have
been advanced with the intent to unravel the origin, nature and stereotypes of
conflicts in order to bring peace and stability, and development to the
continent. However, most of such studies linking causal factors of conflicts
relating to sub-national conflicts and development of the African region have not been very clear. This
article establishes a link between poor and bad governance, and sub-national
conflicts in Africa to encourage African states and their political leaders to
embrace good governance as panacea to peace, stability and development of the
continent. The linkage was constructed using secondary data relating to poor
and bad governance, and sub-national conflicts in and outside the region of
Africa.
