    Abstract
    SUMMARY Nigeria's increasing militarisation is partly a consequence of the government's programme for economic recovery. This programme, influenced by the World Bank model of structural adjustment, aims at ensuring the conditions for long?run capitalist development, by actively seeking the participation of foreign capital. To earn the confidence of foreign capital and control the social consequences of an austerity package an authoritarian government is required. SOMMAIRE Brandt, Berg et la militarisation au Nigéria La militarisation croissante du Nigéria est grandement due au programme gouvernemental pour le redressement économique. Ce programme, influencé par le modèle de la Banque Mondiale d'adjustement structurel, a pour but d'assurer les conditions de développement capitaliste à long terme, en recherchant activement la participation du capital étranger. Afin d'avoir la confiance du capital étranger et de contrôler les conséquences sociales d'un programme d'austérité, un gouvernement authoritaire est obligatoire. RESUMEN Brandt, Berg y la militarización en Nigeria La creciente militarización de Nigeria se debe, en parte, al programa de recuperación económica del gobierno. Este programa — influenciado por el modelo de ajuste estructural del Banco Mundial — tiene como objectivo asegurar condiciones de desarrollo capitalista de largo plazo, mediante una búsqueda activa de la participación del capital extranjero. Se requiere un gobierno autoritario para obtener la confianza del capital extranjero y el control de las consecuencias sociales de un plan de austeridad.
