Description
xAgainst the backdrop of a shifting global order and strategic realignments, this book examines the past 63 years of Nigeria-Pakistan relations, exploring the factors that have shaped their domestic politics and foreign policy, as well as taking a broader look towards trilateral cooperation between China, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
Using a comparative political lens, this book addresses a significant gap in how Africa, particularly Nigeria, is perceived, studied, and taught in Pakistan. Chapters highlight the importance of people-to-people connections in the shaping of Nigeria-Pakistan relations over time, contributing to existing scholarship on South-South migration. Further, this book compares diverse political systems, civil-military relations, and entrenched corruption, along with the implications of these dynamics for human development and emerging economic growth. Beyond foreign relations, this book addresses the intricate and dynamic domestic politics of both countries through the theoretical framework of elitism, examining how certain actors have consistently shaped and re-shaped the democratic landscape in these nations.
Ultimately, addressing an underexplored area of international relations, this book will be of interest to scholars, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of international and comparative politics, regional and area studies, global southern political sociology, and migration studies.
