Written by an expert group of Nigerian researchers, the chapters provide an overarching, Afrocentric view of politics in Nigeria, from pre-colonial history to the current federal system. The book begins with a series of historical chapters analyzing the development of Nigeria from its traditional political institutions through the First Republic. After establishing the necessary historical context, the next few chapters shift the focus to specific political institutions and phenomena, including the National Assembly, local government and governance, party politics, and federalism. The remaining chapters discuss issues that continue to affect Nigerian politics: the debt crisis, oil politics in the Niger Delta, military intervention and civil-military relations, as well as nationalism and inter-group relations. Providing an overview of Nigerian politics that encompasses history, economics, and public administration, this volume will be useful to students and researchers interested in African politics, African studies, democracy, development, history, and legislative studies.Advances in African Economic, Social and Political Development,2198-7262African PoliticsDevelopment and Post-ColonialismGovernance and GovernmentAfrican Politics.Development and Post-Colonialism.Governance and Government.320.9669Ajayi RotimiFashagba Joseph YinkaMiAaPQMiAaPQUtOrBLWBOOK9910483620503321Nigerian politics2844688UNINA
