Despite ECOWAS ’ efforts to promote youth empowerment through policy frameworks, its implementation by the member states is largely constrained by administrative complexities. Th…
Throwing the baby away with the bathwater: Dynamics of intra-party wrangling and “primary penalty” in Ghanaian politics
Where you stand depends on where you sit”: The politics of petroleum pricing in Ghana's election cycle
This study examines how fuel pricing in Ghana has been used as a political tool to win votes and the government's role in this process. Applying Mile's Law, it explores post‐truth theory through content analysis of secondary data and interviews with energy experts. The findings indicate that political parties gain significant political leverage by promising lower fuel prices during campaigns but fail to deliver once in office. The government's in…

For Better for Worse Even After Death: Is 'Widow Politics' in Ghana's Fourth Republic Becoming a Reliable Pathway for Women
The quest to bridge the gender disparity in the politics of Ghana has seen little progress owing to the challenges associated with the passage of the Affirmative Action bill by the actors involved. However, the recent emergence and unconventional adoption of 'widow succession' politics in Ghana have sparked some public debates into the viability of the practice in the promotion of women in politics. This paper examined all five identified cases o…
Two Sides of the Same Coin: Formal and Informal Institutional Synergy in a Case Study of Wildlife Governance in Ghana
There has been the call to forge a synergistic relationship between local ecological knowledge and formal institutions in the governance of natural resources. How do informal institutions complement the efforts of formal state regulation of natural resources? How does this complementation foster a regularized human–wildlife interaction? Adopting an ethnographic design, this study assesses the role of institutional complementation in natural resou…
Complex crisis’ and the rise of collaborative natural resource governance: Institutional trajectory of a wildlife governance experience in Ghana
Transdisciplinary public leadership theory: Between the extremes of “traditional public administration” and “new public management”
The 21st century public organization is faced with complex problems, informed stakeholders, and information flows, which necessitate a corresponding open system view of leadership. The traditional notions of public administration and new public management had been structured by strict bureaucratic rules and managerial flexibility, respectively. This paper begins by theorizing two hypothetical constructs (helicopter and deadbeat leadership), which…
A socio-cultural approach to public sector corruption in Africa: Key pointers for reflection
The public sector of many African countries is notoriously corrupt; cultural inclinations and socialization processes largely have a tendency to lead public officials into actions that may amount to corrupt practices. Providing seven (7) key pointers for reflection, this study explores public sector corruption in African countries by examining the interplay between culturally acceptable norms and professional expectations of public officials. The…

Power to the People! How far has the Power Gone to the People? A Qualitative Assessment of Decentralization Practice in Ghana
Decentralization is a concept well professed by political elites in Ghana yet there has been inadequate political will to transfer actual power, authority and resources to the district assemblies. Ghana's current decentralization was introduced in 1988 with a mesmeric mantra of 'power to the people', and the concept is now over two and half decades old. This paper examines the extent to which local government reform through decentralization has b…
The calculus of corruption: A paradox of ‘strong’ corruption amidst ‘strong’ systems and institutions in developing administrative systems
Without the right political will to battle corruption, systems and institutions are put in place and tend to be façade and window dressing. Ghana, especially, in the new millennium has seen the proliferation of various institutions ostensibly to curb the phenomenon of corruption, yet its impact has only been marginal. This study adopts two models of corruption to critically assess the institutional development of Ghana since the Fourth Republican…
Public sector leadership-subordinate ethical diffusion conundrum: Perspectives from developing African countries
The interaction between organizational superiors and their subordinates has a practical implication on the entire organizational life cycle in terms of ethical conduct. This study explores how ethics among public leadership could trickle down on the conduct of public employees by using two empirical cases from developing African countries context. Using the attraction–selection–attrition and social learning models, the study assesses how superior…
