This book provides analytical, conceptual, and practical insights
into how public policy processes and outcomes are conceptualized
and framed. Drawing on Ghanaian experiences, but with extensive
illustrations from other African countries, it showcases issues of
commonality and diversity in public policy with analytical insights
and real-life policy concerns that specifically addresses how
citizens engage with the state, and how they think and function as
social actors within the socio-cultural settings of Africa. The
book brings public policy to life as a practical and
problem-solving discipline, with examples of how policy actors such
as the legislature, governance architects, the media, and the
judiciary become arenas for contest. Linking public policy to
development paradigms, governance, and responsible citizenship, it
is important reading for students and scholars of public policy,
governance, and politics in Africa, as well as practitioners.
The Age of Knowledge emphasizes that the ongoing transformations of
knowledge, both within universities and for society more generally,
must be understood as a reflection of the larger changes in the
constitutive social structures within which they are invariably
produced, translated and reproduced. As the development of
knowledge continues to be implicated in the habitual practices of
the human social enterprise, visualizing these alterations requires
the consideration of the social and materialistic contexts
informing these transformations. This is necessary because the
process of globalization has not only created new challenges for
societies but has also unleashed a new political economy of
knowledge within which different institutions must re-affirm their
identity and place.
