This chapter explores the problem of rising pastoralist–farmer and ethnic (religious and tribal) violence in the pluralistic Middle Belt region of Nigeria over the past thirty to forty years. In particular, it highlights the underlying issues and conflicts associated with these different categories of communal intergroup violence, the human and material costs of such conflict, and the broader implications for the Nigerian state. The federal government, states, local governments. and communities have not been passive in addressing the considerable challenges associated with preventing and resolving such conflicts. It is clear, however, that they face significant hurdles in resolving the underlying grievances and drivers of conflict, and their efforts have not always furthered the cause of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Greater attention to patterns of inclusion and exclusion and to the allocation of rights and resources will be necessary, particularly at the state and local government levels, to create a more stable and peaceful Middle Belt.

Runtime Information

Although the blockchain-based Internet of Things (BC-IoT) has been applied in many fields, it still faces many security attacks due to lacking policy-based security management (PbSM). Previous PbSM is usually time-consuming, which is difficult to integrate into BC-IoT directly. The high-latency policy conflict resolving in traditional PbSM cannot meet the BC-IoT’s low-latency requirement. Moreover, the conflict resolution rate is low as the PbSM usually neglects the runtime information. Therefore, it is challenging that achieving an efficient PbSM for BC-IoT and overcomes both time and resource consumption. To address the problem, we propose a novel PbSM for BC-IoT named FPICR to realize fast policy interpretation and dynamic conflict resolution efficiently. We first present policy templates based on system log to interpret policy in high speed in BC-IoT. Benefiting from matching the characteristics of the system processing, FPICR supports interpreting a policy into the smart contract directly without complex content parsing. We then propose a weighted directed policy graph (WDPG) to evaluate the importance of the deployed policies more accurately. To improve the policy conflict resolution rate, we implement the resolution algorithm through reconstructing the WDPG. Taking the traits of these properties, FPICR thus can also remove the redundant data to compress storage space by the WDPG. Experiment results highlight that FPICR outperforms the baseline in all measure metrics. Especially, compared with the state-of-the-art method, the speedup of interpretation in FPICR is about up to 2.1 × . The conflict resolution rate in FPICR can be improved by 6.2% on average and achieve up to 96.1%.

Need To Evaluate

This chapter aims to analyze conflict resolution between Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) operating in Latin America and their host countries. The chapter focuses on the importance of establishing a policy for addressing local governments through permanent channels, as a strategy to solve disagreements with the authorities. The analysis includes different scenarios drawn from the experience of foreign firms in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela. Thus, international managers may get a deeper view about the consequences of relying on formal diplomatic channels when conflict arises. Decision makers at MNEs need to evaluate separately each country outlook in order to assess the level of confidence that may be placed on diplomatic representation from the parent country and, consequently, the convenience of developing additional ties with local authorities through international business diplomacy.
