“…There are quite a number of approaches to defining development in the economic literature. As yet, there is still no agreement on this issue (Litwiński, 2017). Until the second half of the 20th century, economic growth and development were identified only with material progress and the phenomenon was believed to be linear.…”

Many scholars have identified insecurity in Nigeria as one of the major reasons for the country’s continuous under-development. This paper analyzes the effects of insecurity on the socio-economic development of Nigeria, with the main objective of proffering policy solutions to address insecurity challenges that have almost brought the county to her knees and stunted her development. The paper adopted the conflict theory propounded by Karl Marx as the theoretical framework to interrogate the causes of insecurity and the effects on various aspects of the Nigerian socio-economic system. The study employed qualitative research methods to critically assess the relationship between insecurity and Nigeria’s socio-economic development. It is theoretically based, with the use of secondary data, using in-depth explanatory analysis that produces results with understanding, meanings and views. The study identified severe unemployment, endemic poverty, ethno-religious conflicts, corruption, deprivation, inequalities and small arms and light weapons proliferation as the major causes of the unending insecurity challenge in Nigeria. These have led to population displacement, social dislocation, depression and trauma among the people, declining health situation, worsening school attendance, food insecurity and lack of foreign investment. The study recommended that governments at all levels should implement policies that will ensure serious reductions in unemployment rate, poverty and general inequality, by providing infrastructures and the enabling environment that will encourage entrepreneurs and small-scale industries to thrive, revamp the country’s entire security architecture, strengthen border security, tackle the proliferation of firearms, improve the legal system, among many others.

“…The concept of development has indeed evolved from the notion of economic growth into the idea of economic development which has more recently expanded to include socio-economic development (Litwinski 2017). The intrinsically interdisciplinary nature of development studies and research has been recognised (Molas-Gallard et al 2014) and online resources for evaluating socio-economic development have been produced (EC 2013).…”

Whereas economists do not traditionally address social harmony, and sociologists or political scientists do not usually tackle economic development, the interaction of social harmony and economic development has recently become an object of intense concern. In their aim to foster evolved rather than uprooted cultural values, the authors of this research note suggest an educational approach to promote the concept and the implementation of what they refer to as authentic development. They propose interdisciplinary courses that include notions of history, sociology and economy. Their methodology is based on two main resources: (1) a textbook providing a broad historical survey tracing the development of 28 nations in the Americas; and (2) analytical parameters related to the extent of social interaction and income generation. Students carry out digital and group research and elaborate the conditions that generate social harmony, economic well-being and a better balance between them. The authors have already piloted their educational approach in four secondary schools in Antigua, Guatemala with 50 students aged 17–19. Most of them are now enrolled at local universities, but the impact of this course on their performance will only emerge over time.
