This study aims at taking us through the series of events that took place between 1983 and 2007 in Nigeria political system. Precisely it puts into a proper perspective the processes through which a nearly two-decade of military authoritarian regimes (1983-1999) metamorphosed through unflinching efforts of civil society into a successful transition in 1999. In order to account for these historic events the book answers the main guiding question: “How changesin the dynamics of civil society influenced the process of democratization in Nigeria?”.
