About this title

Synopsis

This substantial contribution to the debates and analysis of some of the critical issues thrown up by globalisation concentrates particularly on how they pertain to Nigeria and developing countries. The topics covered are globalisation and the patterns of development in the twentieth century; the nature and meaning of globalisation; the democracy movement and globalisation - Nigeria in perspective; the social and economic impact of globalisation on Nigeria; the socio-cultural impact of globalisation on Nigeria; an analysis of import revenue in Nigeria within the context of globalised trade policy; globalisation - effects on industrial productivity in Nigeria; Nigeria from indigenisation to globalisation; privatisation in a globalised context - the Nigerian experience; globalisation and ecological problems in Nigeria; globalisation and the environment; and the new globalisation era and digitalisation - an economist's perspective. The editors, Professor J.S. Odama and Dr E. A. Aiyedun are both at the Faculty of Social Sciences in the University of Abuja.
