<br/><br/> ABSTRACT<br/>This study examines the impact of globalization on Nigeria’s foreign policy in <br/>relations to ECOWAS and it seeks to critically examine the relationship between <br/>content and concept of the globalization in Nigeria in relations to ECOWAS and to <br/>find out how the multidimensional natures of globalization have significantly <br/>influenced Nigeria foreign policy in relations to ECOWAS. Emphasis of the study is <br/>on identifying the different foreign policy tools used by Nigeria compared to <br/>ECOWAS and determining the effects and significances of globalization for the <br/>nation-state system within ECOWAS. Textbook and internet-based knowledge <br/>constructions were employed in the research. The bulk of the necessary details were <br/>gleaned via a thorough perusal of relevant books and scholarly articles housed in <br/>various library systems. The different foreign policy tools used by Nigeria compared <br/>to ECOWAS was examined and it has been revealed that globalization in the <br/>economic sector has been related to the development of a truly universal economic <br/>system characterized by widespread participation in cross-border economic and <br/>macroeconomic transactions. The study further proved that the economic and <br/>intellectual underpinnings of Nigeria's foreign policy development are inextricably <br/>linked to the country's status as an ex-colony of Great Britain. There are theoretical, <br/>economic, and managerial consequences of the study. The researcher recommends <br/>that that national authority adequately staff their boundaries to prevent the unchecked <br/>flow of individuals, narcotics, and smaller and heavy weaponry across territories, the <br/>latter of which inevitably leads to an increase in criminal activity and instability.<br/>Keywords: Competitive Dynamics, Diplomat Negotiations, Financial Diplomatic, <br/>Globalization, Foreign Policy, Technological Interconnectedness.
