The paper identified some research problems which includes the difficulty in peace building agents in determining the right kind of intervention measures that addresses the various phases of peace-building. The study main objective is to determine the component of the various phases of peace-building measures. The methodology applied is the qualitative research design which includes the use of secondary sources such as journals and text books in data generation and qualitative analysis. Among the findings reached is that, the components of the pre-conflict phase of peace-building include peace advocacy and conflict prevention measures. Components of conflict phase include peacekeeping , peace-enforcement, and ceasefire measures, and the post-conflict phase include Demobilization, Disarmament and Rehabilitation (DDR) of ex-combatants and reconstructive recovery projects. Among the recommendation made is that, there should be increased peace advocacy, conflict prevention in the pre-conflict phase, quick use of peacekeeping , peace-enforcement, ceasefire, buffer zone, in the conflict phase, and high level of reconstructive recovery projects in the post conflict phase of any peace-building measure.

The paper identified some research problems which includes the increasing trajectory of the conflict from simple agitations to extreme violence and destruction of lives and property. The study main objective is to determine the constituents of ethnic nationalism struggles and violent extremism. It tries to determine the point of divergence between ethnic nationalism struggles and violent extremism. The methodology applied is the qualitative research design which includes the use of secondary sources such as journals and text books in data generation and qualitative analysis. Among the findings reached is that, the constituents of ethnic nationalism struggles include industrial action (labour strike) and nonviolent demonstrations or protest on the streets, while that of violent extremism includes wanton destruction of lives and property. The point of divergence lies in the deliberate, calculated and wanton destruction of lives and properties. Amongst the recommendation made is that, all parties to the IPOB conflict should allow for peace and consider the lives and properties of the people they claim to be fighting for.

This paper identified the problem of articulating a precise definition or perception of terrorism, and the various perceptions surrounding the term "terrorism". The study main objective is to determine a standard definition and perception of terrorism in the field of peace and conflict studies. The methodology applied is the qualitative research design which includes the generation of data from secondary sources such as journals and text books. Among the findings reached is that the central idea in the various definitions of terrorism around the world is that, terrorism is a political violence occurring in an asymmetrical conflict that is designed to induce terror and psychic fear (sometimes indiscriminate) through the violent victimization and destruction of both combatant and non-combatant targets (sometimes iconic symbols). Amongst the recommendation made is that, the definition of terrorism should include acts generated by threats of violence, and be political in nature; as terrorists seek to obtain the leverage, influence and power they otherwise lack to effect political change on either a local or an international scale.
