Abstract
The end of the Cold War has generated momentum in the expansion of democratic governance in Africa. There is no doubt US intervention has influenced the development of democratic processes in the region. The US democratization approach involves putting diplomatic pressure on regimes to reform. America’s promotion of democracy in the region has been deemed ineffective, inconsistent, and as being used to work toward its own self-interest. This chapter, though, examines the role and influence of the USA in the democratization process in Nigeria. Omotosho also explores the channels through which the USA influenced the transition to democratic regimes and examines some domestic factors that facilitated or undermined the USA’s influence on the development of democracy in Nigeria.
