Abstract:
This paper challenges conventional theorists such as Strange (1997), and Nader (1993) who suggest that states, will give up welfare spending to create global competitiveness. Political scholars such as Gilpin (2001); Myles and Pierson (2001) dispute theorists on globalization and welfare but rather argue that politics is a relevant factor of welfare decline in lower developing countries (LDC). The findings from date collected from World Bank and United Nations (1980- 2008) indicate that politics determines welfare expenditure in Nigeria and present adequate validation to re-examine the assertion that welfare decline in LDC creates global competitiveness.
