Abstract:Sections: Introduction - Scope and limitation of data sources - The political economy environment (precolonial period, colonial period, neocolonial period) - The economic situation (structure of the economies, the direction of trade and investments, development financial institutions) - Resource endowments and framework for economic cooperation -The geopolitical constraints. The upshot of Nigeria's oil and economic situation in relation to the Arab-dominated OPEC is that of continued cooperation with the Arabs. However, Nigerian-Arab economic cooperation remains limited because the economies, finance, and trade are firmly oriented towards the industrial economies of the North. For economic cooperation between Afro-Arab States to be meaningful in terms of creating 'a genuinely autonomous economic space', it has to be situated within a South-South perspective. App., notes, ref., sum. in French.
