The Politics of Post-War Demobilisation and Reintegration in Nigeria

摘要

The Nigerian civil war, which ended in 1970, has remained a major reference point in public discourse on power-sharing and the political equation in Nigeria. While the war itself is seen as the outcome of the zero-sum political game among the three major ethnic groups, the partial way the crisis was resolved is said to have marginalised the interests of a section of the country and rendered the goal of national integration more difficult to achieve. This new book authored by Olukunle Ojeleye offers Nigerians another opportunity to engage with this significant aspect of their national past.
