Nigeria is an example of the new superstructure which in operation fails to become a homogeneous entity after the assumption of political power by the Africans. There are problems of existing tribal kingdoms, of geographic distribution of ethnic groups and of traditional values. The British colonization of Nigeria also …

In a dynamic economy some of the most challenging policy problems tend to originate in the realm of international economic relations.

It is the purpose of this thesis to assemble a minimum framework of the theoretical issues …

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The group called itself the Fabian Society and in the beginning it seemed to be not unlike other protest or reformist groups which were springing up all over England at the time.

To be specific, the ideas of the Fabian Socialists can clearly be seen as influencing the …
