Ghana was one of the first African countries to adopt a
comprehensive IMF reform program and the one that has sustained
adjustment longest. Yet questions of Ghana's compliance-such as to
what extent did it comply, how did it manage compliance, what
patterns of noncompliance existed, and why?-have not been
systematically investigated and remain poorly understood. This book
argues that understanding the domestic political environment is key
to explaining why compliance, or the lack thereof, occurs. The
author maintains that compliance with IMF conditionality in Ghana
has had high political costs and thus, noncompliance occurred once
the political survival of a regime was at stake. Akonor argues that
situations in which Ghana did not comply with IMF conditionality
were periods prior to elections and periods of elite
conflict/instability, when the governments needed to muster
domestic support to stay in power.
