Description
INTRODUCTION The statement of this article is that the spatial distribution of federal expenditures makes a particular difference in regional share of national resources and the overall politics of resource allocation. Whether this is true of Nigeria's federalism is investigated historically and comparatively within the framework of Regional Competition for Resources. As early scholars of fiscal sociology--Joseph Schumpeter and Rudolf Goldscheid--wrote, fiscal politics (the pattern of government spending) is the more important determinant of state form and resultant inter-group relations than capitalism and modem rational bureaucracy as Marx and Weber separately claimed for the emergence of modem Western Europe.
