• TITLE: The Nexus between Poor and Bad Governance, and Sub-National Conflicts in Africa

  AUTHORS: Fie David Dan-Woniowei

  KEYWORDS: Poor and Bad Governance, Sub-National Conflicts, 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.
