Editorial Review

Product Description
Arguably the most marginalized of all the regions of Ghana, Northern Ghana, while accounting for only 20% of the national population, is home to over 80% of the poorest tenth of that population. Its main contribution to the national economy is unskilled labor. The critical essays assembled in this collection explain how the region acquired this status and why its underdevelopment persists. The contributors trace the genesis of this unfortunate situation in the North to the pattern of neglect set by policymakers in the early colonial period. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

Since the early 1980s, the World Bank, backed by aid donor countries, has been involved in a determined effort to stimulate capitalist growth in Africa by prescribing a set of orthodox, neoliberal economic policies. Even in the relative success stories, such as in Ghana, there has been a notable failure to achieve the East Asian-style economic takeoff that some World Bank officials still optimistically envisioned in the early 1990s. Using Ghana as a case study, this book considers why this is the case, and what the implications are for the adequacy of orthodox, neoliberal policies.

This study provides an overview of the development of Ghana's parliament from 1844 when it was under British colonial jurisdiction, through transition to sovereign rule in the 1950s.

Some of the topics covered include: the various post-independence constitutions, the committee system, the introduction of women to parliament, and parliament and the media.

Editorial Review

Product Description
This work provides a selection of official documents by the colonial government in Ghana illustrating the evolution of its economic policy in the 20th century. It includes a statistical abstract of economic and social data for 1900-60 which is as complete as sources permit. In an introductory essay it is argued that in Ghana the official British colonial commitment to free trade and laissez-faire was not reflected in practice and that colonial authorities were unwilling to foster trade that did not contribute directly to the accumulation of British capital. The origins of this policy are shown to lie in the structure of British power. The consequences for the progress of Ghanian enterprise and development are traced in detail. ... Read more

Product Description
Ghana’s independence in March 1957 was celebrated with great flourish. But more than a quarter century of increasingly chaotic political and economic turbulence followed.Eventually a major reform program was launched, but after fifteen years its success has been modest.The long-run economic and political records are both lackluster, each limiting the potential of the other. The question is, why has Ghana not achieved sustained and rapid long-term growth? This study seeks to provide an answer. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Globalization, the return to multi-party systems of government, and the policies advocated by the IMF and the World Bank have led to near revolutionary labor relations in Ghana and other African countries. These new social and economic forces have unleashed innovative as well as contradictory labor policies and practices that are having profound social, political, and economic consequences. The evidence presented by Panford indicates the failure of the policies of the IMF and the World Bank and calls for new and viable policies to enhance Ghana's global competitiveness and meet genuine development needs. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Intense fighting in the Northern Region of Ghana in 1994 and 1995 led to the loss of 15,000 lives and the displacement of 200,000 people. A formal peace treaty, negotiated by the government, ended the fighting but did not address the underlying causes of the conflict, which was a complex mix of economic, political, and ethnic factors.An informal consortium of NGOs, initially involved in delivering humanitarian aid, set up a parallel peace process, seeking to build up trust through a series of peace-education workshops and the creation of a multi-ethnic Youth and Development Association. The success of the process was symbolized by the signing of the Kumasi Peace Accord in 1996.This report, commissioned by the Northern Ghana Inter-NGO Consortium, demonstrates how a network of NGOs, sharing skills and building up local capacities, can play an invaluable role in promoting a sustainable peace after conflict. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Since democratization in 1991, the media scene in Ghana has exploded, with a slew of opposition newspapers challenging the authoritative voice of the state press.But how do journalism and democracy connect with local African practices of discourse, politics, and sociability?Examining the mix of distinctly Ghanaian discourses with imported styles of journalism, Hasty describes how state journalists reinvent the interpretive role of a chief's "linguist" (okyeame) while private journalists invoke the oppositional voice of young men's organizations (asafo), heavy with military metaphor.Nevertheless, Ghanaian journalists passionately embrace global discourses of free speech and human rights; while their everyday practices reveal crucial contradictions between global ideals and local realities.For instance, news sources typically dole out favors and cash gifts (called "soli," short for "solidarity") to journalists on assignment, indicating a complex gift economy that ritually binds journalists and politicians in hierarchical relationships of mutual need and obligation. Thus, while journalism is a global genre of discourse, emphasizing transnational professional and political ideals, this book demonstrates how the discourses and practices of journalism in Ghana are profoundly shaped by local political, historical, and cultural processes. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

The established theories and debates on nationalism were formed in the twin crucibles of Eighteenth-century Europe and America, and continue to be informed by that heritage. Reconstructing the Nation in Africa challenges some of the key principles that underlie the current debates on nationalism by exploring in depth the experience of multinational states in Africa. Taking Ghana as a case study, Michael Amoah introduces and develops two important new contributions to the theoretical tapestry of nationalism --the Rationalisation of Nationalism and Reconstructing the Nation, concepts that should have wide use and currency in the broader discussion of the national phenomenon. Reconstructing the Nation in Africa argues that the nationhood of Ghana is not rooted in modernity as is generally thought, and attempts to show by analysis of the microbehavior of its population that traditional views on the viability of the multinational state do not necessarily hold true for modern-day Africa.
