Publication 2007.
Summary/Abstract President Obasanjo and the donor community pursued a mutually convenient close relationship that impacted the nature of reform implementation during his tenure in office. This article identifies the forces motivating these close relations and illustrates how they shaped Obasanjo's record of economic, governance and political reform. Several specific instances - debt relief, oil sector transparency and the third-term gambit - illustrate both the benefits and shortcomings of the donor community as a reform advocate in Nigeria

Reputational concerns and the emergence of oil sector transpare / Gillies, Alexandra   Journal Article
Gillies, Alexandra Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract This study argues that the reputational concerns of several high-profile actors drove the emergence of oil sector transparency as an international norm. Thanks to successful advocacy campaigns, developing country oil sector operations began to pose increasing levels of reputational risk to Western governments, international institutions, and corporations. These actors responded to this scrutiny by facilitating the evolution of transparency into a widely cited oil sector "best practice." However, the self-interests of these actors also altered the course of the norm's definition and institutionalization in ways which may constrain its eventual impact on industry behaviors. This study narrates the surprising and rapid spread of the transparency norm in developing country oil affairs, a process which suggests that reputational utility should be considered as a possible explanation for norm emergence.
