商品描述

This book examines traditional approaches to conflict resolution in Northern Nigeria, tracing their development from the pre-colonial period through to the present day. Drawing on a wide range of case studies, it highlights how indigenous systems, rooted in local customs, religious values, and communal authority, have historically played a key role in maintaining peace across diverse communities.

Chapters explore topics such as the farmer-herder conflict, the influence of Islamic scholarship, the legacy of colonial legal systems, and the continuing relevance of traditional rulers and justice mechanisms. The volume combines historical analysis with contemporary examples and argues for the reintegration of indigenous practices into modern peacebuilding efforts.

This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working in conflict resolution, African studies, governance, and legal reform. It also offers important insights for those seeking locally grounded responses to insecurity in Nigeria and beyond.
