Nigeria and Botswana are famous for their sobriquets – while the former is often regarded as the ‘giant of Africa’; the latter is renowned as ‘Africa’s success story’, ‘African miracle’ and ‘Africa’s bastion of democracy’. This paper examines the fortunes of democracy in both countries with particular reference to the delivery of socio-economic and political goods. We argue that the delivery of socio-economic goods to Nigerians is almost exactly nil and that the country’s hybrid and militician democracy is a tragedy. On the other hand, we argue that although comparatively it still delivers substantial democratic gains, Botswana’s once ‘pure’ democracy is regressing particularly with regard to perpetual one party rule, ‘presidential strongman’ and growing inequality among others. We conclude that demographically and in ‘big brotherliness’, Nigeria qualifies as the ‘giant of Africa’ but with reference to qualitative governance, socio-economic development, functional institutions and delivery of the gains of democracy, Nigeria is a crippled giant and an eminent member of the committee of ‘failed democracies’. Its democratic regression in some core areas notwithstanding, relative to the ‘giant of Africa’ and other African states, Botswana still tolerably qualifies as ‘Africa’s success story’. The study relied on documentary data subjected to internal and external criticisms as well as textual and contextual analysis.

The evolution of poverty has been an emerging economic and social phenomenon which poses the attention of national and international government and developmental organizations in Muslim and non-Muslim countries to initiate various strategies and programs for the poverty alleviation. In Islam, it is crucially important to cater for the wellbeing of the people in a society so that it would positively constitute socio-economic development, political stability and religion propagation. This study aims to explore the poverty alleviation measures prescribed in Islam as a collective solution to several calamities. For this purpose, deductive research method is adopted to articulate the major maqassid of Quran and Sunnah in eradicating poverty as the two primary sources of Shariah explicitly and implicitly encompass all the aspects of life most especially the livelihood wellbeing in accordance with Shariah objective of wealth protection. The study is significant as it will revive Muslims’ intuition to refer back to the teachings from the divine sources to ensure socio-economic development and sustainability.

The Third World

It is a truism to say that the financial sector plays a critical role in the socio-economic development of any country. Financial institutions provide for effective mobilisation and allocation of savings and this contributes effectively towards socio-economic development. Malaysia, which is, as of now, perhaps the fastest growing country in the third world, is characterised by a well-developed fmancial system. What, however, is unique about Malaysia is that, as in some other Muslim countries, conventional and Islamic fmancial institutions exist side by side, interacting with one another. The development of Islamic fmancial institutions in Malaysia has the potential to play a leading role in serving the Muslim Ummah and contribute towards socio-economic development of the country in conformity with Islamic se~ibilities. Yet their market share is rather insignificant in comparison with the conventional fmancial institutions. As elsewhere, financial institutions in Malaysia provide four distinct types of intermediation in the process of exchanging funds and fmancial instruments among the surplus units and the deficit units - viz., denomination intermediation, maturity intermediation, risk diversification intermediation, and liquidity intermediation.

The present study was performed from the standpoint of the transdisciplinary concept of the ethno-functional synthesis of chaotic (archaic) and cosmizing (premodern and modern) ideas, understood as a source of humanitarian systems development. An empirical comparative study of the mentality of Russia and countries with high and low rates and levels of socio-economic development was carried out on the basis of statistical analysis of Internet queries reflecting the interests of users: “Nature” (archaic), “God” (supra-ethnic-religious ideas — pre-modern) and “Knowledge” (modern). Compared with countries with high and low levels of socio-economic development, the Russian collective subject has the largest gap between a high interest in archaic and a less pronounced interest in religion; at the same time, the interest in knowledge occupies a middle position. This result can be interpreted as a relatively low expression of the inner need for religion (God) and knowledge (Knowledge), despite the fact that the values of Knowledge and Religion (God) are significantly represented in Russian education system and media. It is established that the countries with high rates of socio-economic development have predominant interest in knowledge (the query “Knowledge”), and there is also a relative integration (balance) of archaic (the query “Nature”) and supra-ethnic-religious (the query “God”) ideas. In developed and underdeveloped countries, compared with countries with high rates of development, interest in “God” and “Nature” prevails while interest in “Knowledge” is relatively low.

Economic Development Model

The objective of this paper is to propose a framework that will assess the availability of maqasid al shari’a  based socio-economic policies in Muslim countries, and whose nebulous institutions are perturbed by the statistic that 504 million people are living in multi-dimensional poverty, suffering from range of deprivations in forty-three member countries of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB). Lack of or weak access to adequate resources remain the primary issues faced by many nations. In the midst of this though, there is a recurring argument that the level of socio economic development of human well-being must be improved. To understand development challenges of  socio-economic framing in the current Muslim world,  factors such as education, health, spirituality, lives and property, economy, food security as well as youth employment as based on maqasid al shari’ah framework model merit consideration. Accordingly, this paper seeks to address the gap in the current literature by incorporating education and youth unemployment factors into the socio-economic development model which is based on maqasid al sharia’h framework. The study adapted the principles of Islamic divine law that ensures an inclusive socio-economic development policy devoid of tribal, ethnic or religious sentiments. The study offered  recommendations for further research on maqasid al sharia’ah  applications on the socio-economic development of both Muslim and Muslim-minority countries.

The main objective of this study is to develop a socio-economic development index (SCECDI), which is composed of social development index (SCDI) and economic development index (ECDI). For the analysis, we have included 14 Islamic countries which are Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Kuwait, Malaysia, Morocco, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and U.A.E for the years 2010 and 2015.Pakistan’s spending on education and health is quite low during last five years on average, while value added agriculture is the highest among all Muslim countries. Meanwhile, spending on health and education in Saudi Arabia is quite high, besides having quite high export value added and capital formation. These are required for better economic development. Highest educational profile is observed in Malaysia, while the employment rate is highest in Kuwait among all. We have diversified the summary profile for all countries of the variables included for the analysis in the study. Expected outcome is that those Islamic economies which have better economic conditions, will have more than 0.50 values for SCECDI, while others may have the value in between 0-0.50. We also demonstrate the importance of SCECDI focusing the dynamic characteristics of all Islamic countries included in the study.
