Inside Nigerian foreign policy, 1960-1993: Ethnicity, class, state and leadership contradictions.

Nigerian foreign policy (NFP) has been subject to more debates than that of any other state in Africa or elsewhere in the South. These debates can be classified into realist-radical contending paradigms of NFP consisting of three approaches: realist socio-psychology, radical dependency and capability empiricism. The debates can be acrimonious, and the literature is voluminous and rich in its description of the events and issues.
