The Politics of Traditional-Federal State Formation and Land Administration Reform in Ghana: 1821-2010 The Politics of Traditional-Federal State Formation and Land Administration Reform in Ghana: 1821-2010 Daniel Appiah PhD University of York Department of Politics May 2012 Abstract Imagine a democratic state in Africa where the Presidential-Executive and Parliament are constitutionally restrained from fundamentally reforming the institutions of land ownership and administration without the legal consent of traditional rulers (chiefs). This is the case in Ghana. Using the historical institutional theoretical approach, the study makes an original contribution to our understanding of how the political process of state formation between British colonial state makers and the rulers of traditional states in Ghana produced a type of state that I call the traditional-federal state in 1821-1831. The core legacies of this state are (i) the bifurcation of public authority between chiefs and government in the governance of land and people; and (ii) the complex interaction of informal-legal rules of customary law and formal-legal rules of common law. The study shows how these legacies have shaped institutional reforms within the dual ‘customary’ and ‘public’ sectors of land administration. The study argues that the traditional-federal state has constrained the development of transparent, accountable and efficient institutional framework of land administration. The study helps us to understand the origins and nature of the bifurcation of state authority between chiefs and government over land administration in Ghana. Secondly, the study helps us to understand the nature of institutions of chieftaincy for customary land administration. The study shows that informal-legal customary institutions of land administration are complementary to, and substitute for, the formal-legal institutions of land administration. Thirdly, the study shows that the potential of communal land ownership to promote development could be realized if government, chiefs, and citizens are committed to the creation and enforcement of formal-legal rules of accountable administration that distributes the benefits among stakeholders. Finally, the study reinforces the historical institutionalist argument that the critical juncture of institutional development matters for understanding subsequent endogenous and exogenous sources of institutional change. 1 Table of Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................ 1 List of Tables................................................................................................................ 8 List of Diagrams ........................................................................................................... 9 Dedication .................................................................................................................. 10 Acknowledgements .................................................................................................... 11 Declaration ................................................................................................................. 14 List of Abbreviations and Acronyms ......................................................................... 15 Chapter 1 .................................................................................................................... 18 The Traditional-Federal State in Ghana: The Problem for Analysis ................. 18 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 18 1.1 The Bifurcated State: Public and Customary Sectors of State Authority ....... 18 1.1.1 The Thesis: Critical Juncture and Path Dependence ............................ 22 1.2 Research Questions ......................................................................................... 23 1.3 Analytical Framework: Historical Institutionalism ......................................... 23 1.4 Structure of the Study...................................................................................... 25 Chapter 2 .................................................................................................................... 26 Analytical Framework: Historical Institutionalism .............................................. 26 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 26 2.1 Conceptual Framework ................................................................................... 27 2.1.1 Politics and Political Settlements ......................................................... 27 2.1.2 Institutions and Organizations.............................................................. 28 2.1.4 Accountability: The Politics of State Accountability .......................... 40 2.2 The Historical Institutional Analytical Approach: Understanding the Origins and Causal Effects of State Institutions ..................................................................... 44 2.2.1 The Critical Juncture and Path Dependence Explanatory Model ........ 47 2.3 Research Methodology: Comparative Historical Analysis ............................ 54 2.3.1 The Problem of Case Selection from Numerous Outcomes ................ 55 2.4 Research Methods: Documentary Analysis and Interviews............................ 57 2 2.4.1 Secondary Sources of Research Data ................................................... 57 2.4.2 Examining Historical Records for Sequential Evidence ...................... 58 2.4.3 Interviews: Adding Little Colour to Stiff Accounts? ........................... 60 2.4.4 Other Sources of Primary Data ............................................................ 64 2.4.5 Academic Integrity and Research Ethics ............................................. 65 2.5 Conclusion: Critical Juncture of Institutional Development Matters ............. 66 Chapter 3 .................................................................................................................... 68 Land Administration in Africa – A Literature Review ........................................ 68 Introduction ................................................................................................................ 68 3.1 What is Land Administration?

Ghana has a major fault line stretching from the McCarthy Hills area in Accra westwards towards Kasoa-Nyanyanu area in the Central Region and eastwards towards the Akwapim Range all the way to the Volta Region. The epicenter of the fault line is thought to be located around Nyanyanu. Since 1939, when Ghana experienced its severest earthquake which caused a lot of damage with a magnitude of over 6.0 on the Richter scale, there have been reported occurrences of earth tremors in recent times.

  • Constituency Service in Ghana
    Constituency Service in Ghana Joseph Luna⇤ August 20, 2015 Abstract Constituency service is an important duty for politicians. Numerous scholars argue that this duty is critical for reelection (Fiorina 1977, Fenno 1978). In the African context, constituency service is also important for both electoral and social reasons, but research on this topic primarily focuses on national legislators. Based on my fieldwork observations, I argue that citizens in sub–Saharan Africa often turn to local politicians for a variety of reasons. Drawing from a survey administered to 2809 Ghanaian cocoa farmers, I employ a non-parametric matching design to determine which factors drive these farmers to seek help from various local leaders. I find nuanced results across treatments spanning economic, political and demographic dimensions. The results of this research hold numerous implications for scholars and practitioners. I. Introduction Addressing constituent requests is an important task for politicians all over the world. For politicians, meeting these requests can translate into votes and ultimate reelection. Fenno (1978) examines the “home styles” of United States congressmen, detailing the various ways in which they interact with constituents and satisfy their requests. Fiorina (1977) also em- phasizes the role congressmen play in “unsticking” the bureaucracy for constituents with ⇤[email protected]. Michael Hiscox and Jens Hainmueller courteously permitted my use of data gathered by the Harvard–Ghana Cocoa Team, on which I am a member. Special thanks to the seventy Ghanaians who administered the survey and the 2809 farmers who patiently donated their time. Further special thanks to Abednego Majisi for assistance at the Parliament of Ghana and to the Department of Cooperatives for facilitating focus groups.

  • The Parliament of Ghana: a Countervailing Force in the Governance Process?
    The Parliament of Ghana: A countervailing force in the governance process? By Ernest Darfour Ghana (or the Gold Coast at the time), established its first semblance of a Parliament (Legislative Council) in 1850 with representatives appointed by the British colonial government. The Legislative Council consisted of the Governor and at least two other person appointed by the colonial administration. The Legislative Council was required to make laws and ordinances necessary for the peace, order and governance of the Gold Coast. The legislature at the time was merely an advisory body and had no oversight power over the colonial government. Various agitations against the colonial authorities for equal representation and universal suffrage led to the transformation of the non-elected legislature into an elected Legislative Assembly in 1954. After gaining independence in March 1957, Ghana saw four Parliaments under four different Republics (i.e. First Republican Constitution of 1960, the Second Republican Constitution of 1969, the Third Republican Constitution of 1981 and the Fourth Republican Constitution of 1992). The incessant interventions of the military in politics truncated the terms of the first three Parliaments in 1966, 1972 and 1981. The democratic instability that was witnessed over the period ensured that Parliament was an unstable governance institution until 1993, when democracy was finally restored under the Fourth Republic. Since then, Ghana has conducted six multiparty elections that have been described as free and fair by both international and local observers. Five Parliaments have been elected and 1 completed their terms successfully, with the Sixth Parliament gradually approaching its expiration in January 2017.

Box 25 Legon, Ghana February, 1998 Farming in the Shadow of the City: Changes in Land Rights and Livelihoods in Peri-Urban Accra Abstract Contending perspectives have interpreted the impact of rapid growth in peri-urban areas in very different ways. One school of thought characterizes peri-urban growth as leading to the development of new markets, and the conversion of property rights in such a way as to transform the local economy, leading to greater entrepreneurialism. Another sees the destruction of agricultural livelihoods without necessarily replacing them with any alternative form of economic activity. This paper reviews the literature on pen-urban land use, property rights change, and livelihoods, and then compares four cases within the peri-urban periphery of Greater Accra, the capital and largest city of Ghana, to assess the impact of rapid urban sprawl on the area immediately surrounding the city.

The pressures of urbanization and fast growing population of the cities have therefore impacted on land management. This study analyzed land management practices in Accra and Kumasi in view of rapid urbanization. The study analyzed issues such as the operation of the land markets in the cities – trend of land use, ownership and land values, sources and process of land acquisition. Customary land ownership in the two cities constitutes about 90%. The value of land in Accra is relatively higher than in Kumasi.
