The School for Conflict analysis and Resolution at George Mason University is very pleased to launch its Monograph Series with the remarkably timely and insightful work by Professor John Paden, one of the world’s foremost scholars of Nigerian politics. Writing about ongoing conflicts need not be only an academic activity; it can also be a form of practical intervention. In this case, it is an invitation to deploy high-level scholarship in a strategic policymaking process that will strengthen the unity of Nigeria. Many in the international community and within Nigeria itself assert that the country is destined for unmanageable collapse, but Prof. Paden explains how Nigeria can respond to its current crises and tensions in ways that will serve the interests of the state, with its diverse citizenry, as well as the world at large.
