Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - When John Dramani Mahama was inaugurated as President of Ghana on January 7, 2025, he inherited a nation in distress. Inflation was soaring above 23 percent, interest rates exceeded 30 percent, the cedi was in freefall, investor confidence had collapsed, and public debt had reached unsustainable levels . The mandate from the ballot box was unambiguous: Ghanaians demanded a sharp break from the brutal socio-economic mismanagement of the past . Out of this challenge emerged the 'Reset Agenda' a comprehensive plan to restore hope, rebuild trust, and rekindle prosperity . The 'Reset' Agenda (2025) In Ghana: A New Departure or Another Cycle of Ambition and Disappointment by Christopher Noyuoro, George Gyader, Simon Tengan, and Frank Teng-zeng offers a critical and comprehensive examination of one of the most ambitious governance reform initiatives in Ghana's Fourth Republic. The authors, all affiliated with the Department of History and Political Science at UBIDS-bring scholarly rigor and analytical depth to assess whether the Reset Agenda represents a genuine new departure in Ghanaian governance or merely another cycle of political ambition followed by the familiar disappointment that has characterized previous reform efforts. The Genesis of the Reset Agenda. The book opens by situating the Reset Agenda within its historical and political context. The authors trace how the economic crisis that gripped Ghana in the years preceding the 2024 elections eroded public confidence in governance institutions and created a fertile ground for radical reform promises . President Mahama's Reset Agenda, as articulated in his inaugural address and subsequent policy pronouncements, promised nothing less than a fundamental restructuring of the Ghanaian state and economy. At its core, the Reset Agenda is built on the principles of restoring integrity, transparency, and inclusive development governance . The authors demonstrate how this vision extends across multiple domains: economic stabilization, institutional renewal, youth empowerment, decentralization, and international engagement. The book provides readers with a detailed exposition of the Agenda's key pillars.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Ghana's local governance system was designed as a revolutionary departure from the centralized authoritarianism that characterized earlier regimes. When the 1992 Constitution enshrined decentralization as a fundamental principle, it promised a future where local communities would exercise genuine control over their own development . The District Chief Executive (DCE)-the mayor-like figure at the helm of each district assembly-was envisioned as the linchpin of this democratic transformation, accountable to both the central government and the local population. Yet three decades later, The Shadow of the Centre: Partisan Politics and the Autonomy of District Chief Executives in Ghana's Local Governance System by Christopher Noyuoro, George Gyader, and Frank Kannigenye Teng-Zeng reveals a troubling reality: the DCE remains trapped between competing pressures from above and below, his autonomy constantly undermined by the partisan dynamics that shape Ghanaian politics. The book exposes the fundamental paradox at the heart of Ghana's decentralization project. While the constitution designates the District Assembly as 'the highest political authority in the district with deliberative, legislative and executive powers,' the DCE is appointed single-handedly by the President and can be dismissed at will . This creates an inherent tension: from above, the DCE is expected to serve as 'the president's man,' faithfully implementing national development plans and securing political support for the ruling party . From below, however, the same DCE faces relentless pressure from party activists who view him as 'our man'-the supply side of patronage networks who must reward loyal supporters with jobs, contracts, and development projects . As one assembly member observed, 'On paper the chief executive is an administrator, not a czar, but in practice he has his hands in everything' . This dual accountability-to a distant centre and a demanding locality-has profound implications for governance effectiveness, resource allocation, and democratic accountability.…
