Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing synergy between Boko Haram and ISIS, leading the former to pledge allegiance to the latter in 2015. In view of this, the study examines the determinants of terrorist organization coalition, with focus on cultural imperialism. The study sought to unravel the various factors that account for cultural imperialism of the West, which have led to the rise and sustenance of terrorist organization on one hand, and its subsequent coalition with others, on the other. By employing Karmon’s Terrorist Coalition Theory, documentary method of data collection, and case study research design, the study qualitatively unraveled and analysed several invasive western cultural exports that have disrupted the internal cultural dynamics of certain States in international system, giving rise to fundamentalist and extremist movements. The study therefore concludes and recommends that the government and religious leaders have a big role to play in terms education and sensitization of its people regarding moderation in beliefs and cultural practices, if they must live peacefully and develop in the 21st century that is largely enveloped in the web of globalization.
