The paths of African states have diverged markedly since the
termination of colonial rule. Nevertheless, Ghana, the first
African state to achieve independence, epitomizes both the
political gyrations and the overall stagnation common to many other
countries on the continent. This work concentrates on the 1969-1982
period in Ghana, focusing on two interrelated facets of African
politics: the decline of state power and authority, and adjustments
to political recession. The author traces the dual patterns of
diminution of the state and the adaptation of autonomous coping
mechanisms in the separate spheres of political leadership,
political structures and institutions, ideology, and political
economy. The dynamic of state-society interactions is then treated
in terms of the rhythm of dissent, conflict, and disengagement. Dr.
Chazan provides a comprehensive study of Ghanaian politics from the
1970s to the present. By systematically analyzing the process of
political decline and regeneration, she highlights similar
processes apparent elsewhere in Africa. The stress on the
subtleties and direction of political change has important
implications for policymakers and policy analysts alike.
