Impact of democracy on economic, human, and societal development
How does democracy affect economic, human, and societal development? We review the scientific evidence on this question from 2010 to present, finding that democracy improves economic growth, population health, gender equality, and peace. However, we find that empirical findings are either mixed or null for democracy’s effect on economic inequality and poverty, corruption, and education. Our review goes beyond the summary statistics of meta-analys…

What accountability pressures do MPs in Africa face and how do they respond? Evidence from Ghana
How African politicians, especially legislators, behave on a daily basis is still largely unknown. This article gives a unique empirical account of the daily accountability pressures and the strategies that Members of Parliament (MPs) in Ghana employ in responding to the demands that they face. While literature on political clientelism focuses on explanatory factors like lack of political credibility, political machines capable of effective monit…
Democratization by Elections? A Mixed Record
This article summarizes some of the key findings from a forthcoming book, Democratization by Elections: A New Mode of Transition? (Johns Hopkins, 2009, edited by the author).

These elections are a part of the Fourth Republic that began with a 'founding' election in 1992, ushering Ghana into Africa's new wave of democratisation. First the size of the core voting population is established to be about 82% of the voting population, refuting the assumption that voting volatility in new and transitional…
