This study conducted an analysis of India and Nigeria's foreign policy pursuits. Foreign policy choices have significant benefits or consequences for countries. The future of a nation can be affected by the foreign policy decisions of leaders. The objective of this paper is to ascertain which country made it or broke it through an in-depth analysis of Nigeria and India's foreign policy. The qualitative method of research was used to carry out the descriptive discourse of this study. A thorough analysis revealed that India builds its regional and global status through a stealth economic diplomacy. This has moved India from being classified as a less developed nation to an emerging economy. In Nigeria's case, its Afrocentric foreign policy principle lacks diplomatic strategy. Hence the misinterpretation of national interest has resulted in its economic doom. The study recommends that countries should build their economy first, in order to successfully pursue their desired power status.

“…Es usual que las complejas y cambiantes racionalidades de la elaboración de estos instrumentos escapen al entendimiento de otros ámbitos, como el académico, el científico y el ciudadano. Así, constituyen una suerte de cajas negras donde distintos contenidos y procedimientos se desconocen o se ignoran (Blarel y Paliwal 2019;Carey 2011).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es proponer un modelo estructural y actualizado para el análisis y la construcción de políticas de seguridad y defensa. Se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema y, a partir de ello, se plantea el modelo y se analizan de forma prospectiva su utilidad, alcances y límites a futuro. Entre los resultados del estudio, se identifican dos grandes direccionamientos de la literatura: uno conceptual y formulador, y otro más exclusivo, político y técnico, así como un aparente consenso técnico sobre algunos elementos básicos de las políticas de seguridad y defensa. Frente a esto, se aporta una propuesta funcional para incrementar el conocimiento, racionalizar recursos y armonizar y mejorar la confección y la implementación de las políticas de seguridad y defensa. Abstract The objective of this article is to propose a structural and updated model for the analysis and construction of security and defense policies. A review of the literature on the topic is carried out and, based on it, the model is proposed and its usefulness, scope and limits for the future are analyzed prospectively. Among the results of the study, two main tendencies of the literature are identified: one conceptual and formulator, and another more exclusive, political and technical, as well as an apparent technical consensus on some basic elements of security and defense policies. In view of this, a functional proposal is put forward to increase knowledge, rationalize resources and harmonize and improve the construction and implementation of security and defense policies.

“…In order to examine how such acting and image making work in practice for recognition-seeking, post-colonial states we need to open up the infamous 'black box' of the discipline of international relations (IR) (Blarel and Paliwal, 2019) -the conceit that international relations are governed by surface-level, 'ping-pong ball' interactions and that histories, ideas and emotions do not affect what happens. Opening this up is to follow Berenskötter's (2014: 264) call to understand 'international relations as a realm of reflexive communities constituted and guided by structures of meaning' in order to look underneath the appearance of how states act in the world and into their internal workings as revealed through narrative.…”

‘Speaking proper French’: citizen bids for state recognition in Chad and Côte d’Ivoire

Theories of international recognition posit that states’ identities are formed through dialogical relations with other states. However, they often overlook the ways in which weaker states’ struggles, constrained within the languages of the powerful, produce misrecognition and inhibit identity formation. This is the experience of many post-colonial francophone African states whose search for international recognition has been inhibited by their special relationship with France, their former coloniser. This article shows how such struggles for recognition can fail. It draws on two examples of francophone African countries, showing how their search for recognition sprung from the misrecognition of colonial experiences. Each has made explicit attempts to attract richer forms of state recognition through purposive acts but has continued to do so within post-colonial conditions. Using citizens’ understandings of these struggles, the article explores what drove them, how they manifested and how they unravelled. It draws on Frantz Fanon’s account of misrecognition, making a novel interpretation based on his concept of ‘speaking proper French’, or how experiences of ‘identity alienation’ can only produce further misrecognition.
