Transnational Crimes and Nigeria's Security

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Region: Africa, grade: 4, University of Ibadan, language: English, abstract: This work articulates that Nigeriäs security is troubled by transnational crimes prevalent in West Africa by making an important argument that since West African states lack the capacity to uphold the basic demands of statehood within their territorial domains, they unavoidably serve as safe havens for trans-organized criminal networks, which has grave implications to Nigeriäs domestic concerns.
