Globalization is
a complex and a multifaceted concept. Due to the fact that it cuts
across almost all disciplines, each of the disciplines provides
varying definitions and interpretations for the concept. In this
paper, the focus is on the economic aspect of globalization.
Globalization therefore is seen as increasing economic
interdependence among the countries of the world. This
interdependence has both positive and negative aspects. The present
paper studies the negative aspect of globalization in the case of
Niger Delta. While economic interdependence has facilitated the
harnessing of the resources of the region but if one studies the
overall activities of the multinational companies, one finds that
they have contributed to the worsening of the economic conditions of
the inhabitants of the Niger Delta. This has generated a feeling of
deprivation which has found its outlet in various forms of
conflicts.
