Globalization, The Global Financial Meltdown and the Nigerian Economy

Abstract

This paper explores the phenomenon of globalization, the world economic order in the last sixty and more years has always featured players who do not only wish to push beyond the frontiers of their countries, the ideological view they hold regarding just how the economic order should be like, but who want to impose it across other regions of the world. This was particularly so between the 1930s and the late 1990s, when the Soviet Union and her allies on the one hand and the United States and her allies on the other were locked in an ideological warfare that was regarded as the “cold war”.
