- W1460296217 abstract "The Nigerian state today is nothing more than a rentier state whose neo-colonialcapitalistmode and social relations were not substantially modified by the rapidtransfonnation from the production of agricultural commodities (palm oil,rubber, tin, cereals, etc.) to petroleum as the main source of capitalaccumulation. The unpredictability and volatility of the rentier economy hasover the years been the central factor in all regime changes and democraticdevelopments since independence. While in the core developed countries the. state historically evolved some measures of 'relative autonomy' from theeconomically dominant class and fractions, the state in Nigeria fuses classpower and political power together. Thus the on-going struggle for state powerthrough the process ofdemocracy is simultaneously a struggle for the means ofdistribution and consumption which only power can confer. This papertherefore examines the structure of the Nigerian state and the attendantconstraint it poses for the practice and sustainability of democracy anddemocratic institutions. The paper sums up the conclusion that the state inNigeria is anti-thetical to the survival ofdemocracy since the,state has becomepoliticised and instrumentalised into a partisan state that is at once the arena andobject ofparticularist conflicts." @default.
