Book Synopsis Uses and Abuses of Political Power by : Maxwell Owusu
Download or read book Uses and Abuses of Political Power written by Maxwell Owusu and published by Ghana University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of this book, published in 1970, was widely acclaimed as the best account of grassroots politics to have emerged from Africa. One of its unique features is the extent to which the author has effectively integrated historical and anthropological issues into a political frame. The book is divided into three parts: the first looks retrospectively at the first edition and its relevance to Ghana's past, present and future; the second part considers the importance of comparative political studies to the development and fostering of the growth of an informed and knowledgeable political public and opinion leadership, covering history, culture and politics; and the third part presents an intellectual overview of Ghanaian political change, from Nkrumah to the peaceful transfer of power from the National Democratic Congress government to the New Patriotic Party at the start of the new millennium. Maxwell Owusu is a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology at the University Michigan. Educated at the London School of Economics, Harvard University, and the University of Chicago, he has taught at the University of Ghana, Legon. He was a consulting member of the Constitutional Experts Committee which drafted the 1992 constitution proposals. He is the author of numerous scholarly publications, the recipient of a US Institute of Peace Grant, and on the board of the International Union of Anthropoligical and Ethnological Sciences. Praise for the first edition: ".the best available account of grassroots politics to have emerged from Africa." Political Science Quarterly ".this fine and vivic piece of scholarship comes to blow away fhe cobwebs from Ghanaian political studies." American Political Science Review "The author demonstrates an enviable ability to present his diverse material in a readily comprehensive framework and handles his written sources as deftly as his own participant observation." American Journal of Sociology

Book Synopsis Costs and Benefits of Rent Control by : Stephen Malpezzi
Download or read book Costs and Benefits of Rent Control written by Stephen Malpezzi and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1990 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past forty years, rent control has been a feature of housing in Ghana. This study focuses on the housing market in Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana. The authors examine the characteristics of rent control in force there, and assess the costs and benefits of rent control, on landlords and tenants alike. These controls have been successful in ensuring that housing is very inexpensive for most households, in both absolute terms and in proportion of income devoted to rent. Because of these controls, landlords have been deprived of economic returns from their property. Therefore, they have tended to withdraw stock from renting to use for their own family members and to reduce maintenance. Rent control is not the only constraint on the housing market in Kumasi or in Ghana. This study also describes other supply side and regulatory constraints, including those affecting land, finance, and choice of building design and materials. A number of options for relaxation (decontrol) are studied with the aid of a simple present value model. Along with decontrol of new construction it is recommended that floating up and out of controls over a period of about 5 years, should be considered, along with policy changes to ensure ready supplies of land, finance, and building materials. Finally, building a political consensus behind decontrol is not independent of but is more important than the technical means chosen for decontrol or relaxation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the Ghanian schooling experience as a case study, this book explores how research can contribute to the development of a body of knowledge for educational change in Africa. Education in Africa is often said to be in a crisis' caused in part by the colonial legacy, but also due to inappropriate and uncontextualised current educational policies in relation to local human conditions and African realities.

Book Synopsis Scattered Africans Keep Coming by : Yaw Attah Edu-Bekoe
Download or read book Scattered Africans Keep Coming written by Yaw Attah Edu-Bekoe and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-04-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide an ethnographic description of Ghanaian Diaspora and Protestant congregations in the USA. This book on African diaspora is a "case study" of diaspora missiology in action. Two African diaspora congregations in Europe and five Ghanaian Presbyterian congregations in the USA are highlighted to showcase how "diaspora missiology" is strategically supplementary to the "traditional mission paradigm" in the new demographic reality of the 21st century. Two major considerations compose this case study on Ghanaian diaspora and congregations in the USA: an academic ethnographic description with regard to the distinctive markers of diversity, identity, and receptivity of the Gospel in the multicultural USA society, followed by practical missiological understanding of the formation, development, and mobilization for mission of the USA Ghanaian Protestant Churches.

Book Synopsis Economic Incentives in Sub-Saharan African Urban Planning by : Kwasi Gyau Baffour Awuah
Download or read book Economic Incentives in Sub-Saharan African Urban Planning written by Kwasi Gyau Baffour Awuah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-04-20 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores incentives capable of enhancing the effectiveness of urban planning systems in Sub-Saharan Africa using economic theory as a framework. It argues that urban planning is fundamental to the achievement of sustainable and resilient cities, but against the backdrop of rising levels of urbanisation and growth, poverty, informal development, and climate change, such systems are failing to be promoted and successfully maintained in the region. Across ten chapters, it analyses the connection between urban planning and socio-economic development, indicators of effective urban planning systems, and the role and influence of incentives with real-world evidence. It develops quantitative models to estimate the costs and benefits of urban planning systems, focussing on the developing world where organised data is less accessible. Using Ghana as a case study, it demonstrates a step-by-step approach on how to implement the quantitative models discussed. Economic Incentives in Sub-Saharan African Urban Planning will be useful reading for researchers, policy-makers, development agencies, and students in urban planning, sustainable development, and economics.

Book excerpt: Reform of Ghana's macropolicies has helped to create a more favorable business environment and a "level playing field" for the private sector.

Book Synopsis Democracy in Africa, the Ghanaian Model by : Raymond Agyemang
Download or read book Democracy in Africa, the Ghanaian Model written by Raymond Agyemang and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this case study is to examine the affects that civil society has had in Ghana becoming an emerging democracy. In doing so this project will piece together this phenomenon and in the process find out if Ghana has met some basic criteria of what constitutes democracy with a vibrant civil society. More specifically, the thesis focuses on competing hypotheses about civil society, and examines the fermentation of discontent among the citizenry of Ghana in the early 1980's. This case study argues that civil society is a necessary tool for sustainable democratic governance.
