Nigerian Foreign Policy: Theoretical Genesis and Empirical Exegesis

At a time policy makers, scholars and students rely heavily on contents dished out by the traditional and new media, this book “Nigeria Foreign Policy: Theoretical Genesis and Empirical Exegesis” comes as a bridgeline between theories and practice in Nigerian external relations. It carefully identifies issues from fundamental objectives to implementation and future attainments of Nigerian foreign policy in a manner that will make them easily digestible for stakeholders in the field of foreign policy.The book sheds light on some contemporary issues in Nigerian foreign policy such as; Debt relief, Influence of public opinion, Western media propaganda, Membership of international organisations, Nigeria in peace keeping operations, Economic and Citizen Diplomacy, without neglecting other traditional objectives like Afrocentrism and Non-alignment as embedded in domestic and external environments of Nigerian foreign policy.The currency of the issues raised in the book as it connects foreign policy analysis, and the skills in handling them, make the book a worthy value addition to the study of Nigerian foreign policy.
