    Democratising Continental Peacebuilding Architecture in Africa: Strategy for Attainment of Agenda 2063 of the African Union
    (Journal of African Union Studies Vol. 13, No. 3, 2024-12-01) Osimen Goddy U.; Joseph Ruth Modupeoluwa; Omidiora Oluwasegun; Adi Isaac
    Africa’s journey toward sustainable peace is hindered by centralised, top-down peacebuilding frameworks that often overlook local contexts and community needs. The main argument is that democratising peacebuilding within the African Union’s (AU) Agenda 2063 can lead to a more inclusive and effective approach, enhancing the long-term success of peace initiatives. Based on regime theory, which emphasises the need for cooperation and common norms, this study employs qualitative methods to examine both constraints and opportunities in AU policy papers, reports, and academic literature. Findings indicate that engaging local actors—such as community groups, women, and youth—promotes local ownership and durable peace. Recommendations highlight the need for increased local involvement and sustainable funding to advance Agenda 2063’s peace goals.

    The Electorates and Electioneering Process: A Global View of Democratic System
    (Pakistan Journal of Life and Social Sciences, 2024) Chukwudi Ekene Celestina; Osimen Goddy U.; Ezebuilo Paul Chibuike; ADI Isaac
    Electorates in every society are empowered by the constitution to exercise their rights to vote in removing any government that has become unpopular. The unpopular government has attained its position from its bad styles of leadership and ill-treatment of people who have elected them into leadership positions. The study examines elections as a power in the hands of the electorates who are faced with challenges such as insecurity, corruption, poverty, and the like. The study also explores the activities of the government that portray it as unpopular among the electorates. Secondary data is sourced for this research from books, newspapers, journals, and online platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, and others alike. Structural Functionalism is used as the theoretical framework of analysis in this paper. The study concludes that election is a democratic tool in the hands of the electorates which can easily be used as a function in ensuring good governance in their society but faced with some challenges such as insecurity that led to defunctionalize. Unpopular government has been discovered to be a temporary existence that is always short-lived since the power of the electorates is non-contestable. It is therefore recommended that serious awareness should be created at all times to keep the electorates informed of their power to effect change of government with the use of elections.
