Oil and democratisation in Ghana
Ehis Michael Odijie
Review of African Political Economy, 2017, vol. 44, issue 153, 476-486
Abstract:
In this Debate, I argue that the 2007 discovery of oil in commercial quantities in Ghana is advancing rather than obstructing democratisation. Using the theory of political settlement and the institutional concept of feedback, I show that oil has led to democratic feedback.
