Nigeria and the USA Twists and Turns Through Five Decades (Paperback, New)

Nigeria and the United States: Twists and Turns through Five Decades provides a detailed and in-depth assessment of the relationship between the world's sole superpower and Africa's most populous nation. The book chronicles the early contacts between the two countries and then assesses how that relationship has evolved, enlisting the services of some of Nigeria's most notable international relations experts and scholars in the Humanities who provide chapter contributions. The result has been a highly engaging documentation of this critical bilateral relationship. The objectives of the volume are three-fold: To document all the ramifications of America-Nigeria relations over five decades bringing out the ups and downs of the relationship and their consequences. To assess the impact of the "past" on the "present" and the future of Nigeria-America relations. This is particularly important because a complex tapestry of dreams and desires seem to govern the political, economic and security relations between the two countries. To provide a detailed study that can assist the process of policy formations in both Nigeria and the United States The methodology adopted is to identify all the key aspects of the relationship between the two countries and provide a detailed analysis of the key issues that have underlined the social, economic, political, diplomatic and military relations between the two countries. Although the focus is mainly on Nigeria and the United States, the text also touches on situations in other countries that inevitably became intertwined with the American Nigeria relations, especially the situation in Southern Africa during the era of apartheid and minority rule and Liberia, during the country's bitter civil conflict."
