Abegunrin provides a significant and comprenhensive examination
of Nigerian foreign policy (1966-1999) during the almost 33 years
of military rule, punctuated by the four-year civilian interregnum,
1979-1983. He analyzes what led to the military rule in 1966, and
the foreign policy performance of each military regime that ruled
the country since 1966. He also discusses extensively the economic
dimension of the nation's foreign policy.
He shows that the last 15 years, the period of Generals
Babangida and Abacha, were the most corrupt and brutal that Nigeria
had seen since independence. The mysterious sudden death of General
Sani Abacha led to the appointment of General Abubakar, who handed
power over to an elected civilian government in May 1999, led by
President Olusegun Obasanjo. Of particular interest to scholars,
students, and other researchers involved with African politics and
foreign policy and the role of the military in politial
affairs.
