Moving Beyond the Threshold: The Escalation of Farmer-Herder Conflicts in Akim North Municipality of Ghana
This paper examines conflicts between farmers and herders through the lens of conflict escalation theory. The paper focuses on the case of the Asante Akim North Municipality of Ghana. The paper builds on forty-eight semi-structured interviews, two focus group discussions, and archival materials that were analyzed qualitatively through descriptive, thematic, and content analysis. The paper demonstrates how the conflict escalates through a sequence…
Manufacturing Scarcity: Understanding the Causes of Conflicts Between Farmers and Herders in Asante Akim North Municipality of Ghana
Farmer-herder conflicts are widespread in many parts of Africa. Scholars disagree on their causes. One strand associates conflict with absolute scarcities caused by for example population growth and climate change. Other scholars emphasize politically established scarcities: scarcities caused by policies, legislation, and development programs. This paper examines the causes of farmer-herder conflict in the case of Asante Akim North Municipality o…
An estimation of national charcoal production: The case of Ghana
Accurate data on the production and sources of woodfuels is necessary to ensure sustainability. National level data is scanty in most subSaharan African countries. This research aimed to provide accurate data on charcoal production in Ghana and to develop a methodology that could serve as an inspiration for future assessments, in Ghana and beyond. The study compiled data over two years from Ghana Forestry Commission's records on charcoal quantiti…
To reserve or not to reserve: The battle over forest conservation in the Gold Coast, 1889–1927
This paper examines opposition to colonial forest control and forest legislation in the Gold Coast Colony between 1889 and 1927. In the Gold Coast, forest legislation allowing the constitution of forest reserves, came late compared to other British colonies. The paper explains why. It describes the alliance between Gold Coast customary rulers (chiefs), the indigenous educated elite and British interests that came together to oppose, first, coloni…
Examining the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) action plan in Ghana through a governmentality lens
Over the past decade, the EU Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) action plan has emerged as a key global initiative in addressing deforestation and forest degradation. Yet, there is considerable scholarly debate and disagreement about the impact of FLEGT on forest governance, and ultimately, its effectiveness in arresting deforestation and degradation. This article contributes to this debate through a detailed examination of FLEG…
The dynamics of property and other mechanisms of access: The case of charcoal production and trade in Ghana
Revisiting A Theory of Access: A review
A Theory of Access (Ribot and Peluso 2003) was published 15 years ago. With almost 1600 publications citing it, the paper is instrumental in expanding scholarly thinking beyond property by exploring notions of power. We reviewed all available literature that cited A Theory of Access to understand its influence on academic literature. We first analyse literature in relation to other frameworks with similar concerns: (1) entitlements framework, (2)…

The economic importance of charcoal to rural livelihoods: Evidence from a key charcoal-producing area in Ghana
Access along Ghana’s charcoal commodity chain
Charcoal production and exchange is lucrative across sub-Saharan Africa. But who profits along the charcoal commodity chains? By mapping access along the charcoal chain in Ghana, based on interviews with 650 actors, this article traces out the social and political-economic relations by which charcoal benefits are distributed. It illuminates how access and the mechanisms used by various groups of actors to maintain and control access are dynamic i…
Forestry officials don't have any land or rights here”: Authority of politico-legal institutions along Ghana's charcoal commodity chain

Experimental’ or business as usual? Implementing the European Union Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreement in Ghana
Imagined Forestry: The History of the Scientific Management of Ghana's High Forest Zone
This paper examines efforts at forest conservation and management since colonial times in the 'High Forest Zone'; the southern part of present day Ghana. It provides a detailed historiology of attempts to apply scientific forestry principles and depicts how these ideals have crumbled in the face of material, financial and politico-economic constraints that have largely determined how control and management have unfolded in practice. Thus, the pap…
