Yet this period of sustained democratic government in an era of globalization and liberal triumphalism has brought with it new demands. How has Ghana faced up to the problems of institution-building, state-market relations and democratic leadership? Can it deal with the challenges posed by security, human rights and foreign policy in the twenty-first century? This unique collection interrogates all these issues and assesses the future of the democratic experiment in one of sub-Saharan Africa's rare 'islands of peace'Africa in the new millennium.DemocracyGhanaLiberalismGhanaHuman rightsGhanaNational securityGhanaGhanaPolitics and government1979-2001GhanaPolitics and government2001-GhanaForeign relations1957-GhanaEconomic conditions1979-DemocracyLiberalismHuman rightsNational security966.705/215.80bcl83.30bcl89.40bclMI 24086rvkG:xc S:pg Z:51sdnbG:xc S:pg Z:49sdnbBoafo-Arthur Kwame1764738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910345121703321Ghana--one decade of the liberal state4205846UNINA
