• TITLE: Political Realism in International Relations: Brexit and Its Implications for Nigeria

  AUTHORS: Odey Joseph Ogbinyi Jr., Obinna Emmanuel Okereke

  KEYWORDS: Brexit, Nigeria, Trade, Britain Economy, Realism, Europe

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.8 No.10, October 29, 2020

  ABSTRACT: This research addresses two issues: first, the interpretation of Brexit as a resurgence of political realism in the global system; and second, the impact of this development on Nigeria. We underscore our contention with two theories—Realism and Contagion effect—to demonstrate that the national interest of any state is what matters in international politics (UK first!); and that a lit candle can spread like wildfire in the global system (Brexit aftermath will spread to her allies, even Nigeria). The work adopts the secondary source of data collection; and is qualitative, explorative and predictive in nature. We then recommend that the Nigerian government takes advantage of Brexit to negotiate more favourable trades, and turn its focus to Nigerian aid rather than foreign aid.
