Hybrid sanitation infrastructure in Tema, Ghana
Population growth, urbanization, insecure land rights, and underinvestment impede the development of sanitation infrastructure in African cities. In response, decentralized, affordable, community-driven hybrid sanitation systems have emerged, frequently initiated by local stakeholders. This study examines such systems in Tema, Ghana, an originally planned city undergoing significant unplanned expansion. Employing mixed methods, including surveys …

Intimate exclusion and pastoralist elites' role in large scale-land acquisition in Kenya
Many large-scale land acquisition studies focus on the role of powerful transnational corporations, foreign and domestic governments. Instead, we shift the focus to the role of local actors, in this case, pastoralists in Samburu County, Kenya. Here, we apply the concept of 'intimate exclusion' and show that pastoralist elites' desire and ability to maximise productive and financial gains from customary land, coupled with their privileged understa…
Impossible Histories, Power, and Exclusion in the Gold Coast and Ghana 1930–2020
This chapter examines relationships in rural Ghana between, on the one hand, power initially vested by the British colonial authority in particular versions of tradition with a local polity governed by ethnically defined chiefs, and on the other, the production of ‘alternative’ versions of tradition, chief based authority, and the making of an ethno-political group – the Nawuri – who were excluded from the process. This provides insights into rel…
Food for thought: Urban market planning and entangled governance in Accra, Ghana
Urban development and emerging relations of informal property and land-based authority in Accra
Rural-urban migration leads to ever increasing numbers of Africans living in informal settlements. In Accra's largest informal settlement, Old Fadama, residents by definition have no statutory rights to the land and their building activities undermine formal state law and state-recognized customary landowners. Statutory institutions are unable to enforce property rights and alternative interests emerge and organize. In multiple and fragmented way…
Workplace stress from actual and desired computer‐mediated communication use: A multi‐method study
The use of computer‐mediated communication applications can lead to workplace stress for employees. However, such stress is influenced not only by how individuals actually use computer‐mediated communication applications but also how they desire to use them. This article examines how the individual's actual and desired use of communication tools together influence his or her workplace stress. It does so across a range of computer‐mediated media (…
In a state of slum: Governance in an informal urban settlement in Ghana
Old Fadama in Accra, Ghana, is a vast informal settlement. A legalistic approach by successive governments has meant a near-absence of statutory institutions and the emergence of alternative public authorities. These endeavour to provide the area with a range of basic public services to solve the area's serious developmental challenges. Through processes of informal negotiation residents establish rights and social contracts that underpin and def…
Rethinking the Making and Breaking of Traditional and Statutory Institutions in Post-Nkrumah Ghana
This article examines a complex dispute over the jurisdictions of traditional and statutory institutions that traversed shifts in forms of government in Ghana for nearly a decade following the ousting of Kwame Nkrumah in February 1966. The analysis emphasizes underlying processes of continuity and seeks to add nuance to familiar conceptualizations that view this period in terms of state weakness, crisis, and rupture. The article explores, in part…
Political Structure and the Limits of Recognition and Representation in Ghana
Recent studies of democratization in sub-Saharan Africa often focus on government recognition granted to traditional authorities. This article examines northern Ghana, where chiefs of a minority group are denied formal recognition but pressure state officials to recognize their status as land custodians. This leads to contests and debates between state officials, chiefs and communities over whether the customary institutions have in fact been rec…
The Chiefs, Elders, and People Have for Many Years Suffered Untold Hardships’: Protests by Coalitions of the Excluded in British Northern Togoland, Un Trusteeship Territory, 1950–7
This article examines the use of tradition by minority groups whose territorial incorporation into British Northern Togoland under UN trusteeship was marked by political exclusion. This contrasts with the more typical pattern of productive and inclusive relations developing between chiefs and the administering authority within the boundaries of what was to become Ghana. In East Gonja, marginalized groups produced their own chiefs while simultaneo…
Making sense of sensemaking narratives
This article analyses the agreed and discrepant sensemaking of members of a project team. Embedded in a narratological approach to sensemaking research, we argue that before scholars may be able to understand in detail how agreements are reached and action becomes coordinated, we need first to take seriously the proposition that sensemaking occurs in the context of individuals' idiosyncratic efforts at identity construction. This, we suggest, mea…
Open educational resources in a global context
Can open educational resources help solve the global education shortage? Will a social authoring process enable developing and developed countries to create educational resources together? This paper analyzes these and other questions around the emerging use of open educational resources in a global context. Global perspectives are provided via analysis and extracts from discussion and case studies that took place in a UNESCO online discussion fo…
