Creative destruction, Pentecostalism, and the Spectacle of Ghana’s National Cathedral
In March 2017, the Ghanaian government announced plans to construct a 5,000-capacity national cathedral in Accra, sparking widespread debate among legislators, religious groups, academics, and the public.

Labour Agency, Politics, and Future of Africa-China Engagements
Africa-China relations have deepened over the past two decades, marked by significant public health, development, and diplomatic cooperation. While Africa benefits from infrastructure and financial support, China secures resources and boosts its image.

This observation stems from increasing investments in education, including Confucius Institutes and Confucius Classroom projects, scholarships, professionalized training for African media and securit…

Critics, however, protested the project on the grounds of imminent displacement of local populations and the irreversible alteration of the environment. Since coming on stream…
Ghana’s Bui Hydropower Dam and Linkage Creation Challenges

Completed in 2013, the 400-megawatt hydropower facility was touted by the government to catalyse Ghana’s socio-economic transformation. However, while the Chinese contractor delivered the physical edifice to the Ghanaian government, the dam’s material benefits have yet to materialize. The inability to instigate economic linkages…
