Summary:"The nature of the state and the ideological thrust of state policies continue to shape the character of the economy and social relations in Nigeria.This book analyzes how neo-liberal state economic policies and political reforms have impacted on state-society relations, economic and class configurations, social composition of power, social welfare and cohesion in post-military Nigeria. The Nigerian state more than ever remains a contested political project, with trepidation over its course and future. This collection points to key policy recommendations that may be crucial in redirecting the future of the country."--Provided by publisher.
