ABSTRACT
This study examines the political economy of Nigeria –United States relations between 1999
and 2009. This study has both broad and specific objectives. The broad objective of this study
is to examine the political economy of Nigeria –United States relations between 1999 and
2009. The specific objectives are as follows: To ascertain whether oil is the centerpiece of
Nigeria –United States economic relation between 1999 and 2009; To find out if Nigeria –
United States economic relations enhanced economic development in Nigeria within the
periods under study. Though political economic framework could explain almost every situation
in interaction of states, the theoretical framework for the analysis of Nigeria - US economic
relations between 1999 and 2009 will be rooted on the dependency theory. This is because it
enables us capture at a glance the dependent status of Nigeria in her economic relation with US.
We validated the following hypotheses Oil is the centerpiece of Nigeria –United States
economic relation between 1999 and 2009; Nigeria –United States economic relations has not
enhanced economic development in Nigeria within the periods under study. The method of data
collection for this study is observation of documentary evidence that deals with Nigeria –US
relations. We heavily relied on secondary sources such as books, journals, articles, periodical,
government reports and publications, magazines, unpublished manuscript, commentaries, and
conference papers. Other data were collected through electronic sources such as television news
broadcasting and radio news broadcasting and Internet materials. Again, we relied essentially on
descriptive qualitative method as our methods of data analysis in this study. We also use simple percentages and tables graphs to buttress the arguments in this study.
