Abstract:This volume presents a selection of papers presented at the 22nd conference of the Nigerian Society of International Affairs (NSIA). The book is divided into three sections: 1. Nigeria (12 chapters); 2. Africa (4 chapters); 3. global (8 chapters, 4 of which are concerned also with Nigeria). The chapters in the section Nigeria address: religious fundamentalism, (causes of) terrorism, Boko Haram, the Arab Spring in Nigeria, and national security (chapters by Mashood Omotosho, Isaac Terwase Sampson, Chibuzo N. Nwoke, Freedom C. Onuoha, Akubor Emmanuel, John Agbonifo, Ismaila A. Danjuma, Alaba Ogunsamwo), and foreign policy (chapters by O.P. Adelusi and A. Oluwashakin (on President Goodluck Jonathan's foreign policy and Nigerians in diaspora), Bolaji Omitola, James Jacob and Olusola E. Akintola, Ferdinand O. Ottoh. Nigerian foreign policy is also dealt with in the second section, by Chibuzo N. Nwoke (on power interest in the Gulf of Guinea) and Bola A. Akinterinwa. This section also has a chapter on the African Union and globalization (by Ogaba Oche) and on regional economic integration in West Africa (by R.I. Ako-Nai). The third section includes a chapter on Islamic radicalism in northern Nigeria (Moses M. Duruji and Faith O. Oviasogie), Nigerian national security (Emmanuel J.C. Duru); the tsunami in Fukushima and the storms in Ibadan (Doyin Aguoru); South-South cooperation (Bolarinwa Joshua Olusegun); and, the Nigerian diaspora and community development (I.A.
