The dyanamics and structures of dependence in Africa: A theoretical study of Nigeria's experiences

Post 1990’s saw a re-invigoration of the structures of international socio-political and economic imperialism: the dynamics of neo-liberal agenda which ensures the re-negotiation and repositioning of these structures to meet the set objectives. This paper, therefore, argues that the dimensions and dynamics of these structures deepen the problems of Dependence. This paper advances the example of Nigeria as atypical case of a caged state and an environment where the process and the dynamics of these structures of dependency are discernible. It also articulates the philosophical underpinnings which drive the new dependency neo-liberal agenda in the third world and Nigeria has no control over it.
