| Inhoud: |
The article explores Nigeria's potential for becoming a leading provider of peacekeeping expertise for the rest of Africa in light of the country's return to democracy in 1999. It charts the contradictory stances of Nigeria at home and abroad in peacekeeping missions in Sierra Leone and Liberia. The article proceeds to place the role of the military in Nigeria's political development within an West African context bedevilled by military coups. The article suggests that the prolonged period of military rule in Nigeria has sapped its potential to be a reliable guarantor of peace and democracy in the region but concludes by proposing that if Nigeria succeeds in democratising internally, the country could yet become a force for stability in West Africa as well as throughout Africa. |
