Abstract:
This study analyzes the relationship between the oil industries, the state, social and economic performance, and radicalism in Egypt and Nigeria. Information from a database, created for this study, of Financial Times articles relevant to the study, social and economic indicators taken from the World Bank World Development Indicators, and predicted Gini coefficients from a newly created database is used in order to examine the relationship between the variables in question. They are then compared against the social and economic indicators of Ghana and Tunisia in order to attempt to control for general trends in Africa. The study finds a definite link between all of the variables in question in the case of Nigeria. In the case of Egypt the role of the oil industry in the rise of radicalism is unclear, while the link between the state, social and economic indicators, and radicalism is found to be strong. The theoretical model proposed in this study is supported by the evidence found in this study, except for a suggestion that there are two levels of social inequality at which radicalism is likely to rise. This study also provides evidence for theories relevant to the topic focused on in this paper.
