“…For instance, some of the biggest increases in trust over the 2003-14 period were in countries such as Uganda, where many new districts have been purposely created in rural areas (Grossman and Lewis 2014) and in countries that have had sustained targeted input subsidy programmes that began in 2003 or soon thereafter, including in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia (Jayne and Rashid 2013). By contrast, the large declines in rural trust observed in Mali and Senegal coincide, respectively, with government collapse and the onset of civil war in 2012 (Bleck, Dembele, and Guindo 2016) and to perceptions of growing government corruption (Sall 2015).12 Beyond their perspectives on political institutions and parties, the second concept focuses distinctly on political participation, which manifests in a variety of ways. If aligned along a spectrum, the most basic measure is an intrinsic interest in current events and efforts to stay informed of such events.…”

Do youth protest more than their older counterparts and is their main motivation for protest their preoccupation with unemployment? This chapter aims to answer these questions using various data sources of micro- and macro-economic time series data. Protest trends across cohorts from all Sub-Saharan African countries are first presented. A multivariate regression approach is then used to identify the significant drivers of mobilization using public opinion data. Although there are clear life cycle effects underlying protest behaviour such that younger individuals are more likely to protest than older ones, protest activity is a form of mobilization used by all age groups. For both young and old, education, engagement in activism, and deprivation of basic goods are strong predictors of protest regardless of time period. More recently, however, young people are more likely to protest if they are unemployed and if they lack trust in political institutions.

“…Na verdade, há muito pouca transparência e responsabilidade na gestão do governo em toda a sub-região, uma vez que os contratos governamentais e os processos de aquisição são feitos em segredo. Em muitos Estados-membros da CEDEAO, a lacuna de comunicação entre o governo e os governados é desastrosamente grande (Agwor 2015;Bleck, Dembele & Guindo 2016;Wing 2013). Além disso, as execuções extrajudiciais cometidas por operadores de segurança do Estado são comuns na sub-região.…”

“…A importância disso, entre outras, é que o órgão sub-regional e seus Estados-membros têm instrumentos jurídicos suficientes para promover os direitos humanos e o Estado de Direito em suas políticas de CT. No entanto, a promoção dos direitos socioeconômicos, ambientais e políticos dos cidadãos continua a ser o melhor método de combate ao terrorismo. Isso se deve à sua capacidade de controlar as condições que engendram o recrutamento, a radicalização e as atividades terroristas destacadas neste estudo (Bleck, Dembele & Guindo 2016;Ojo 2020).…”

The paper discusses issues and challenges marring the regional implementation of the United Nations Global Counterterrorism Strategy in West Africa. It highlights economic, technology and socio-political factors that hinders the effective implementation of the strategy in the subregion which has become the hotbed of global terrorism. The study concludes that ECOWAS has the enabling instruments and institutions to implement the strategy. It therefore recommends the strengthening of existing institutions, enhancement of human security indices, and massive investment in infrastructural facilities, as measures to facilitate the implementation of the strategy in the subregion.
