Research Interests
I am interested in the following areas of research:
US-Africa economic relations, impact and policy implications of globalization in developing countries, privatization, direct foreign investment, and e-business in Africa. See publications section for my publications and scholarly presentations in these areas. I am currently working on "Constitution and Economic Development in Nigeria," "Africa at the Crossroads of Globalization," and "Why E-Commerce is Underdeveloped in Africa and What Could Be Done About It." I am also interested in the economics of conflict, especially in Africa. My main goal is to examine the relationship between economics and religious conflict in Africa. I am interested in doing this in order to provide a better understanding and effective strategies for prevention, containment, and termination of religious conflict.
