Reconstructing Civil-Military Relations and the Collapse of Democracy in Ghana, 1979-81
This article attempts to contribute to an understanding of the challenges involved in trying to bring military and security agencies under constitutional rule in new democracies by analysing the case of the Limann regime and the failed democratic transition in Ghana in 1979–81. In the aftermath of democratization in 1979 the civilian government made aggressive (and not always diplomatic) efforts to bring the armed forces under its control. In thi…
Military Policy and Reform in Ghana
THE question of how countries in Africa are dealing with the control and restructuring of their military forces and security agencies has aroused some scholarly and political interest but little systematic research. The story of the transition in Ghana may be said to have begun when the Supreme Military Council (SMC) was removed by a coup d'état on 4 June 1979 and replaced by the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council (AFRC) headed by Flight-Lieutena…
The Civil Society Debate in Africa
'Civil society' is suddenly all the rage in social science and comparative politics circles. Seminars, books, special issues of journals, even institutes have expounded the idea of civil society in developing countries. 'Civil societies' have been sought and apparently found in 'nascent,' 'incipient,' or 'emerging' (in some cases re-emerging) forms in places, such as the Middle East and China, where Western social science had long denied their pr…
Why Regimes Adjust: The World Bank Ponders Its “Star Pupil”
As expected, Ghana has once again been identified by the World Bank as the best case of adjustment in Africa (albeit more guardedly than in the past). This is ironic, since in several respects the Bank's understanding of the process of adjustment in Ghana has been shaky. I want to argue that while in public, the Bank has celebrated Ghana as a triumph of neo-liberalism, in private, it has not infrequently struggled to comprehend the nature of the …
Adjustment in Africa and Fifty Years of the Bretton Woods Institutions: Change or Consolidation
Responding critically to the 1994 World Bank report (Adjustment in Africa: Reform, Results and the Road Ahead) this article examines the circumstances of adoption of structural adjustment lending (SAL) by the World Bank and the IMF. It argues that the present adjustment paradigm of the multilateral institutions has undergone successive reconceptualizations designed to co-opt a variety of sources of intellectual and political challenge manifested …
Why Regimes Adjust: The World Bank Ponders Its 'Star Pupil
Smoke and mirrors’: The world bank's social dimensions of adjustment (SDA) programme
The World Bank's 'social dimensions of adjustment' (SDA) policy has developed in a number of phases. The first involved revisions in the development paradigm of the Fund and the Bank that resulted in the incorporation of poverty perspectives. The adoption of 'adjustment with a human face' was part of series of revisions that extended the horizons of neo-orthodoxy in the 1980s, partly in response to theoretical and policy advances within the multi…
Eastern Europe: Consequences for Africa
Concern over the diversion of aid and investment funds away from Africa to Eastern Europe is valid but there is a tendency to see those changes as significant for Africa only in so far as they affect its relationship with the West. Their primary significance should be sought in the implications for African‐Eastern European relations, which have been of such importance in shaping contemporary Africa. The most profound danger of political change in…
Africa: What Can Be Done
From ‘Revolution’ to Monetarism: The Economics and Politics of the Adjustment Programme in Ghana
The Rawlings coup that overthrew the Liman government in Ghana on 31 December 1981 was in several senses unique. It gave rise to a spectacular experiment in ‘people’s power’ and a level of spontaneous mass mobilisation not seen since the early day of the independence struggle. Throughout the country ‘defence committees’ and other organs of ‘popular power’ sprang up. Students closed down schools in order to bring in the cocoa crop, artisans and ma…

Ghana and the Ghanaian Revolution
Reflecting the revival of academic interest in Ghana, both Ghana: Coping With Uncertainty by Deborah Pellow and Naomi Chazan as well as Ghana: Politics, Economics and Society by Donald Ray are published as part of a series the former in Westview's Profiles / Nations of Contemporary Africa series and the latter, intriguingly, in a series on Marxist Regimes published by Frances Pinter. In different ways, this helps to explain some of the limitation…
New Elements in Militarism: Ethiopia, Ghana, and Burkina
Disarmament and Development: An African View
This article reviews briefly the militarisation that has occurred in African countries in the last 15 years. It rejects the conventional emphasis placed by disarmament proposals on armamentism and arms spending and the corresponding tendency to counterpose military spending and development, on the one hand by arguing that although Africa as a whole is still relatively lightly armed, it has had the highest incidence of armed conflicts and social?p…

The Peace Movement and the Third World
This paper explores the nature of the relationship between the peace movement in the West and the Third World. Western countries lack, individually and collectively, the materials essential for the smooth functioning of their armament industries and require easy access to cheap supplies from well-endowed Third World countries. This appropriation is facilitated by their manipulation of the capitalist world economy which is dominated, after all, by…
A tale of two regimes: Imperialism, the military and class in Ghana
Written before the 1979 coup led by Jeny Rawlings and the recent return to civilian rule, this article provides essential background to those events. It outlines the crisis that was looming and that eventually created the setting for this latest military intervention. This is set against the background of an analysis of the two earlier military regimes, of 1966 and 1972, which explores their social character and their economic policies. It is arg…
