As befits their developing and dynamic country, Nigerian academics are very active in the global university; some of their work is reflected in this project. The professional association between the editors on which this book is based started in Chicago in 1974 and continued at lfe in 1979-80. Together they organised a pair of panels at the African Studies Association conference in Philadelphia in 1980 at which several draft chapters were presented. And this and other joint editorial tasks have been facilitated by continuing linkages between the University of lfe in Nigeria and Dalhousie University in Canada. We are grateful for typing undertaken in Nigeria and Canada by Leslie Adamson, Doris Boyle, Tunde Akibu, Segun Oyedepo, Elaine Otto and Marie Riley and we appreciate the collaboration between Macmillan-Britain and Macmillan Nigeria which made this collection possible. We also acknowledge the earlier appearance of Chapters 10 and 11 in Essays in Nigerian Foreign Policy and Journal of Modern African Studies respectively. Halifax and lfe Timothy M.
