Territorialization by claims-making
This study contributes to understanding territorialization, as the intersection between territoriality and citizenship, with claims-making as a mechanism. It applies a process tracing technique to analyse diverse qualitative data about a contentious 2018 referendum in Ghana to separate some of its regions. Through this, the study highlights three empirical features of territorialization. One is the strategies political parties adopted in their ma…
Explaining region creation conflicts in Ghana
For the first time in its history, Ghana held a referendum in 2018 to divide some of its regions to create new ones. Though the regions are purely administrative, the division faced resistance in some areas and not in others. This study combines qualitative comparative analysis with process tracing to show that the resistance occurred within regions with relatively high support for the opposition party, but only in the combined presence of (tradi…
Institutions and Pastoralist Conflicts in Africa
Pastoralist conflicts are important global development outcomes, especially in Africa. Analysing relevant literature on this phenomenon, we identify “institutions” as a key but fragmented theme. This blurs a composite understanding of how institutions affect these conflicts and their management. Hence, this article proposes a conceptual framework that brings harmony to this discourse by analysing 172 relevant publications. The framework was then …

However, using a not-so-well-known federal experiment in Ghana, this study demonstrates gradual “defederalization” through various constitution reviews across sixty-three years. Using evidence from diverse documentary sources and combining gradual change wit…
