TRANSHUMANT PASTORAL ECONOMY AND HUMAN SECURITY IN NIGERIA: SAGEPUB.COM/JOURNALS-PERMISSIONS WHITHER CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANISATIONS?
Abstract
The limited access to land in most African states has engendered a fierce competition, especially among various agricultural user groups. The two major groups of agricultural land users are transhumant pastoralists and sedentary peasant farmers. The internecine conflict between these agro-user groups has grave implications for human security in Nigeria and beyond. Explanation of the conflict has centred on climate change and environmental security, population growth and urbanisation, and insecurity. However, the transnational character of this conflict, often made possible by relevant regional protocols, has not received adequate scholarly attention. This paper argues that networking of regional bodies and other stakeholders is the panacea for tackling the tension-soaked relationship between these land users.
