  • Extraneous Considerations to the Personality Variables in Foreign Policy Decision-Making: Evidence from Nigeria
    Extraneous Considerations to the Personality Variables in Foreign Policy Decision-Making: Evidence from Nigeria Chukwuemeka Ojione Ojieh Abstract The more general approach to assessing personality variables in foreign policy decision-making is to ascribe the motivation of decision makers to their personality traits. By so-doing, certain variables external to the human elements but which act as boost- ers through which the personality elements influence foreign policy decision-making, are often ignored. Through a historical analysis of idiosyncratic effects on Nigerian leaders’ foreign policies, this article establishes that even though personality elements perform well as explanatory variables in foreign policy analysis, they do not solely explain the variance in decision outcomes. They require other factors to activate their expression as foreign policy determinants. Keywords: Nigeria, foreign policy, decision-making, personality traits, extraneous considerations, kitchen cabinet Introduction Several factors influence foreign policy decision-making, and among them are the personality traits or idiosyncrasies of the deci- sion makers. The factor of personality-influence on foreign policy decision-making is hinged on the reasoning that, since the state is a reified concept and decisions are only made on its behalf by human beings, such decisions are bound to be coloured by the per- sonality traits of those officials in charge of statecraft. Such traits include the background, motives, cognitive perceptions, beliefs, etc, of the decision maker. It is the influence which the decision makers’ personal traits have on foreign policy decision-making that has become the foreign policy analysis model, generally © 2016 All Rights Reserved.
