Abstract

Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and potentially one of its strongest in terms of exerting influence on neighboring African states and, at times, on events outside the continent. Within the West African subregion, Nigeria is unequaled in terms of the size of its economy, military, and population, leading to its claims to be a subregional “hegemonic power.”
