Кроме того, анализируется изменение позиции Нигерии в отношении ключевых неформальных институтов (БРИКС и G20) после прихода в стране к власти президента Б. Тинубу в 2023 г. Хотя подходы Нигерии к этим международным организациям и институтам различны, общей чертой при проведении политики на данном треке является поиск оптимального баланса между решением задач внутреннего развития и позиционированием страны в качестве регионального лидера, способного привлекать внимание международного сообщества к ключевым вызовам, с которыми сталкиваются государства африканского континента. ООН играет для Нигерии ключевую роль: Нигерия готова предлагать собственное видение по ряду вопросов, особенно в части международной безопасности. Укреплению международных позиций страны способствует ее участие в работе СБ ООН и избрание нигерийцев на ответственные должности в системе Организации. Присоединение Нигерии к БРИКС в качестве партнера, а также ее активный интерес к G20 дополняют амбиции страны символическим капиталом значимого игрока развивающегося мира, готового представлять не только собственные, но и коллективные интересы на мировой арене. С точки зрения экономических интересов Нигерии, ключевую роль играют ОПЕК (с учетом отраслевой специфики экономики) и Содружество наций (благодаря мерам по облегчению долгового бремени). В то же время существенный потенциал остается за БРИКС: руководство Нигерии настроено на реализацию крупных, особенно инфраструктурных, проектов с участием Нового банка развития БРИКС и при содействии партнеров по объединению.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article explores Nigeria’s foreign policies in a range of international organizations with regard to the core interests that the country has pursued through multilateral engagement at the UN, the Commonwealth, the Non-Aligned Movement, OPEC, FAO, OIC since the return of civilian rule in 1999. The piece also highlights the shift in the country’s stance towards two informal institutions, BRICS and G20, that emerged after Bola Tinubu’s rise to the presidency. Although Nigeria’s approach to these fora can hardly be generalized, a search for the optimal balance between soliciting broad support for national development and flagging its role as a regional leader, capable of drawing global attention to Africa’s challenges and priorities, could be attributed as the main feature of the country’s vision of multilateralism. The UN remains instrumental to Nigeria’s multilateral diplomacy as the nation uses the venue to offer its own vision on a range of global issues, especially in matters of international security. At the same time, Nigeria’s multiple terms on the UN Security Council and the appointment of Nigerians to senior UN roles have contributed to enhancing its global stature. Nigeria’s recent partnership with BRICS and its growing interest in the G20 add symbolic weight to its ambition of being one of the leading voices for the Global South— pursuing broader collective interests alongside the national agenda. Economically, OPEC remains critical due to the structure of Nigeria’s resource-based economy, as does the Commonwealth’s initiatives on debt relief. BRICS, in the meantime, holds significant potential: Nigeria’s leadership is focused on major, particularly infrastructure-focused, projects in partnership with the New Development Bank and fellow BRICS partners.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Нигерия</kwd><kwd>международные организации</kwd><kwd>ООН</kwd><kwd>Содружество</kwd><kwd>Движение неприсоединения</kwd><kwd>ОПЕК</kwd><kwd>БРИКС</kwd><kwd>G20</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Nigeria</kwd><kwd>international organizations</kwd><kwd>United Nations</kwd><kwd>Commonwealth</kwd><kwd>Non-Aligned Movement</kwd><kwd>OPEC</kwd><kwd>BRICS</kwd><kwd>G20</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Панин Н.А.
