This book covers critical issues in Nigeria’s external relations since 1960. As an independent nation, Nigeria has stood out as the most populous black country in the world and contributed immensely to the search for solutions to pressing international issues, notably in Africa affairs. Nigeria has also participated actively in global affairs and used the platform of international organisation to advance her national interests, cognisant also of its regional and global obligations and responsibilities. Contributors to this thought-provoking book make a strong case for Nigeria to press for a foreign policy that puts Nigerian people at the centre. One of the strong points also emanating from the contributors of this book is the imperative for Nigeria to address domestic challenges that continue to impinge on the country’s external image.
In this painstakingly updated and comprehensive political masterpiece, Charles Nnaemeka Akujieze explores Nigeria's pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial history and current affairs in Nigeria politics and administration and presents a nuanced explanation of events and circumstances that have dangerously flung this complex, dynamic and troubled giant to the brink. It is one of the most updated and comprehensive analysis of Africa's most important and populous nation that has been undermined, in recent decades, by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant corruption and an ailing economy.
Comprises: a general survey of the region; country surveys; political profiles of the region; and information on international and regional organizations, and research institutes.
The first edition of State and Society in Nigeria, published in 1980, was and remains a dominant influence in teaching, research, policy and practice of state-society relations in Nigeria for more than a generation. The volume of essays has remained one of the most cited in the field testimony to its enduring content and perspective as well as the beauty, accessibility and clarity of its language. This new edition revisits, extends and reconsiders aspects of the first edition in light of developments in the literature since 1980 and offers new insights and interpretations on issues of political economy, politics, and sociology such as the countrys Civil War (1967-1970) the political economy of oil, debt, and democratization and the complexities and ethnic identities and rivalries and religious accommodation and conflict, and of the multiple ways in which they intersect with one another.
A revisionist examination of the important, yet often misrepresented, interplay between ideology and pragmatism in the interaction between the Third World and superpowers, this book explores the dynamics between Nigeria and the USSR from the time of Nigerian independence in 1960 up to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The author effectively argues that while the generic West may have underdeveloped' Africa, the continent's response to the challenges and opportunities presented by the Northern Hemisphere was progressively active and enterprising.'
