It hypothesised that services delivered by mobile networks influence a subscriber to pick one or two networks over another. So as to prove the hypothesis, Zambia’s four mobile service providers namely Zamtel/Cell Z, MTN, Airtel and Vodafone were examined as the main case study. It was, amongst other findings, discovered that subscribers are influenced by services such as low call rates, wide network coverage, speedy internet and good customer service. Additionally, Zambian mobile subscribers are largely ignorant of their consumer rights and this is an area requiring urgent sensitisation and vocal as well as written expression.

This current époque has so far recorded how controlling energy resources determines who wins a war, oil states have collaborated to establish alliances, and how price fluctuations have enhanced or dampened hegemonic activities. The 21 st century's comprehensive and fast-paced changes in the energy faculty are now modifying the linkage between the two disciplines. The arrival of new raw materials and subsequent formulation of new geopolitical policies, and with climate change concerns becoming the centre of international relations, little effort has been made to develop a clear strategy that assists societies, economies and policymakers to outline new challenges where geopolitics and energy intertwine. To borrow the references of oil and gas, it would be discovered that foreign policy and fuel markets constantly transform. As a result, it is highly imperative to comprehend the ways in which foreign affairs and fuel markets intersect by comprehending the relationship between the two. Brenda Shaffer, in Energy Politics (2009), discussed the link between international politics and energy. Her discussion concentrated on oil and gas politics because in her contestation, as opposed to alternative energy resources, the production, transportation and supply of oil and gas are intertwined with international politics. A country's aptitude to obtain energy resources and the methods through which it consumes energy determinedly structure its economic and trade systems, nature and longevity of its environment, and national security. Moreover, energy supply policies are a feature of a state's political arsenal in the same strength as international policy, military power and economic tools. States are similarly predisposed to utilise the 'energy weapon' to bolster interests in the same manner as they can utilise military or financial power.

In opposition, political rational considers terrorist actions as cognitive methods of operation steered by the logic of acquiring various interests and attaining absolute political goals . In attempts at understanding how varied fields of knowledge define the phenomenon of terrorism, this paper begins with the customary definition as premeditated acts of violence largely aimed at civilians, organised by non-state actors in order to obtain socioeconomic, patriotic, political, ideological or religious objectives, through inculcating fear and threats (lbid). A universal comprehension and description of terrorism is arguably an impossible reality. To that effect and to avoid been accused of complacency, the United Nations (UN) commenced the effort by ratifying the 2004 Resolution 1566 stating,
