商品描述
Under the Fourth Republic since 1999, the challenge Nigerian leaders face like never before is how to create a state that matches the expectations of their diverse peoples at home and abroad. Taking this proposition as starting point, this book advances proposals for a human-right policy, referred to alternately in the work as principled foreign policy, for Nigeria under the Fourth Republic, taking advantage of the inestimable opportunity afforded by General Muhammadu Buhari's departure from the political scene on May 29, 2023, after the famine, domestically and externally, wrought by his two terms of office as President. It is a broad-ranging argument, draped in the less arcane constitutional vocabulary and material of human rights, for thoroughgoing reforms at home and abroad as the only antidote to the nation-building dilemmas Nigeria confronts in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Buhari's departure marks the end of military teleguidance of Nigerian politics under the Fourth Republic in the camouflage of democratic rule, a birthmark of remote control dating back to the first military intervention in the country in January 1966.
These momentous events within Nigeria coincide with equally epoch-making developments in the UK, Nigeria's former colonial overlord, with ripple effects in Nigeria, signified by the death of Queen Elizabeth II, after seven decades on the throne, and the emergence of Prince Charles as King of England. A new monarch in Britain adds to the opportunity that falls open for the reconfiguration of Nigeria's external relations with ramifications for the application of human rights in those relations. Despite its known disabilities, Nigeria has the potential infrastructure, including its sizable population, to conduct a human-right policy, if its leaders rationalize the country's resources more wisely.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在1999年以來的第四共和國，尼日利亞領導人面臨的挑戰前所未有，那就是如何創建一個能夠滿足國內外多元人民期望的國家。以此命題為起點，本書提出了針對尼日利亞第四共和國的人權政策建議，該政策在書中也被稱為原則性外交政策，利用穆罕默杜·布哈里將於2023年5月29日離開政治舞台所帶來的無法估量的機會，這是他兩屆總統任期內所造成的國內外饑荒的結果。這是一個廣泛的論點，使用較不晦澀的憲法詞彙和人權材料，主張在國內外進行徹底改革，作為尼日利亞在21世紀第一個四分之一面臨的國家建設困境的唯一解藥。布哈里的離開標誌著在第四共和國下，尼日利亞政治的軍事遠程指導結束，這種情況以民主統治的偽裝出現，這是自1966年1月首次軍事干預以來的遺留印記。
尼日利亞內部的這些重大事件與英國的同樣具有歷史意義的發展相吻合，英國是尼日利亞的前殖民統治者，這些事件在尼日利亞引發了連鎖反應，體現在伊莉莎白二世女王去世後，經歷了七十年的統治，以及查爾斯王子成為英國國王。英國的新君主為尼日利亞外部關係的重新配置提供了機會，這對於人權在這些關係中的應用具有深遠的影響。儘管尼日利亞存在已知的缺陷，但如果其領導人能更明智地合理化國家的資源，尼日利亞擁有進行人權政策的潛在基礎設施，包括其龐大的人口。
