Overview
- Contributes to the understanding of the dynamics of federalism in a multinational state
- Demonstrates that there is a dialectical relationship between Nigeria's political economy and its federal system, with the former shaping the latter
- Shows how the federal political framework continues to be a facade masking the economic reality of a failed distribution of national resources
Part of the book series: Federalism and Internal Conflicts (FEINCO)
