THE SECOND WIND OF CHANGE IN AFRICA: THE GHANAIAN CASE
The paper discusses the process of democratisation in contemporary Ghana which began in 1992 after a military dictastorship which spanned eight years. During that period civil society was encapsulated, judicial autonomy was lost as the military government filled every political space with novel revolutionary institutions and organisations. The presentation discusses the electoral process, institution building, the relationship between the executive, legislature and the judiciary and the rule of law, gender, public administration, decentralised government, the media, civil society and human rights issues as part and parcel of the quest for deepening democracy.
