Globalisation is about interrelationship and interdependence between nation-states anchored on production, trade, exchange and governance relations which have occasioned trans-border flows. Global interface between governance and the economies is bolstered by advances in communication and transport technology. Trans-border flows have their opportunities and challenges for nations depending on the degree of hegemony that a nation-state holds. Given the relevance of state hegemony to the pursuit of state-centric interest in the relationship and Nigeria’s weak governance environment, what does this mean for the policy table for Nigeria? It is against this backdrop that this article, utilising documentary methodology and an analytical approach, examines if globalisation has influenced Nigeria’s internal policy direction (1986–2010) as a nation-state that has been a player in global relations. Inferring from the analysis it is observed that global relations have indeed significantly influenced public policy direction in such a manner that in some instances the interest of the collectives is neglected
