Title A name given to the resource The Gods, Spirits and Magical Powers at War: Reflections on the Psychological Dimension of the Nawuri-Gonja Conflict, Northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Awaisu Inurana Braimah, Anasechor Orlapu Description An account of the resource In 1991 and 1992, the Nawuri and the Gonja clashed over allodial rights in lands in the Nawuri area of the present-day Kpandai District in the Northern Region of Ghana. The conflict was cataclysmic, and throughout its conduct, there were psychological dimensions. In all the events before the conflict and throughout the phases of the conflict, metaphysical and superstitious resources were utilized and became the fulcrum in the conduct of the conflict. As the conflict occurred in the part of Ghana where superstition and belief in spiritual powers was an integral part of people’s psychology, the Nawuri and the Gonja naturally provided space for the gods, spirits, and magical powers in the conduct of the conflict. With an ingrained philosophy that empiricism is controlled by metaphysical forces, the Nawuri and the Gonja mixed superstition in every aspect of the conflict. This paper examined the extent to which superstitious beliefs played a catalytical psychological role in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict. It analyzed the space provided for spiritual forces–the gods, spirits, and magical powers–and the extent to which these psychological factors determined the course of the conflict. The paper argued that it is impossible to reconstruct a cogent narrative of the conflict–both in terms of its conduct and the scale–without recourse to the psychological factors.

Title A name given to the resource Political Economy of Peace: Theoretical and Conceptual Perspectives, and Implications for Ghana's Peace Architecture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Anasenchor Orlapu, Shanunu Zackaria Description An account of the resource The paper contributes to the burgeoning argument that there exists a relationship between peace and development, and that this relationship is relevant for both political and economic governance. The pursuit of stability, peace, and security is paramount for sovereign states as they are foundational for a nation's well-being, development, and the prosperity of its citizens. Political economy of peace examines the intricate connections between economic and political factors and institutions, and the attainment of these essential objectives. Building on this conceptualisation, authors problematised peace, and hypothesised that there exists a relationship between peace, economy and politics. The paper examined this phenomenon, drawing on theoretical, conceptual and empirical perspectives. Employing exploratory study design, the paper combined in-depth interviews involving 10 participants with secondary data for the analysis. The analysis revealed that peace has become a major concern due to economic, political and ethical dilemmas in most sovereignty states, and that peace is a function of economic and political considerations.

Title A name given to the resource Socioeconomic Analysis of Improper Solid Waste Disposal in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SAMUEL OSEI Afriyie Description An account of the resource solid waste disposal methods by most Ghanaians has necessitated several interventions of which the polluter pays principle is key. However, its implementation has not yielded the desired results yet, since the exploration of the main factors underlying the use of improper solid waste disposal (SWD) methods as well as the decision to pay for SWD has not been exhaustive. This thesis therefore seeks to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of improper SWD methods and the decision to pay for SWD in Ghana. In view of this, the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey was used as the data source for the thesis employing the utility theory framework. Results from the logistic regression showed that, the choice of improper SWD methods is significantly influenced by the gender, age and level of education of a household head, as well as the geographical location, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household. Renting and rent-free occupants were found to be 8% and 6.4% less likely to adopt improper SWD methods as compared to owner occupant households. With respect to the decision to pay for SWD, the gender, age and level of education of a household head, the geographical location, size, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household were the significant determinants Evidently, there is a 30.2% likelihood for residents of urban areas to pay for SWD relative to those in the rural areas.. In light of the findings, the thesis recommends the strategic development and implementation of a rural … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:9ZlFYXVOiuMC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/e311d7e2a4660a16d00826a38de049d1.pdf e8632ba2a09ca89f78effcb107aafdbe Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource The Youth And Rituals In Post-Conflict Rebuilding: The Psychosocial Dimension Of Post-Conflict Rebuilding In The Kpandai District In Contemporary Times Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Sulemana Iddrisu, Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari Description An account of the resource Northern Ghana has gone through decades of inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic conflicts since the 1980s. The present-day Kpandai District was ravaged by an inter-ethnic conflict in 1991/1992, between the Nawuri/Nchumuru and the Gonja, over allodial rights. In both the physical confrontations and rebuilding processes, the youth and rituals played critical roles. However, there is hardly any systematic analysis of the role of the youth and rituals in the post-conflict rebuilding scheme in the Kpandai District. This paper analyzes the roles played by traditional rituals and the Nawuri youth (Nawuri Professionals’ Association, NPA) in post-conflict rebuilding schemes in Kpandai. Using the traditional historical method of reconstructing a narrative from primary and secondary sources, this paper examines the psychosocial dimension and underlines the place of local resources in post-conflict rebuilding in the Kpandai District in the Northern Region of Ghana. It uses the Nawuri Professionals’ Association (NPA)–a youth group of the Nawuri–as a case study. The paper argues that the youth and the use of rituals as psychosocial factors serve as effective variables for post-conflict rebuilding of Nawuri society in the Kpandai District.

Title A name given to the resource Corporate Governance and Total Quality Management Implementation in The Telecom Sector, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu-Kyei, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The Emerging markets (EMs) and Frontier markets (FMs) within today’s global business economy function as the central engines of growth. Populations which previously had limited or no access to modern technological advances now enjoy product and service novelty, especially within the telecommunication sector. The leapfrogged generations of technology made them seize the opportunity for improved living conditions through mobile telephony. This paper seeks to analyze the performance of telcos in an emerging market, using some selected telecommunication companies in Ghana as a case study. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance on the implementation of total quality management (TQM) policies in the telecom companies. This investigation provides a basis by which telecommunication companies can configure, generate and develop consistent, flexible and adoptive corporate governance features and total quality management (TQM). A self-completion questionnaire was administered to customers and employees of MTN Ghana and Vodafone Ghana. Both companies operate with the same procedures and equipment, hence the need to use the same apparatus for all contacted customers and employees. There were 800 respondents from both companies’ employees and customers, although 850 questionnaires were administered. The investigators also did run preliminary tests such as reliability, validity, and multicollinearity tests to ascertain if the received data were reasonable enough for the research, and would fit the expected model.

Title A name given to the resource Autochthonous, conquest and overlordship rights in land: Constructing allodial rights in the Kpandai area in Northern Ghana in the pre-colonial times Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource In 1991-92, a conflict over the allodial title to lands in the Kpandai area broke out between the Nawuri and the Gonja, prompting the necessity to interrogate the concept of allodial rights. In Northern Ghana in general, allodial rights in land are ethnicized-the right of absolute ownership of land resided in an ethnic group. Nonetheless, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land differ from place to place, though generally they are embedded in the historical traditions of societies. By and large, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land by an ethnic group are determined by variables such as autochthonous and conquest rights, lease and gift. This study interrogates the ownership of Kpandai in the pre-colonial period, using, as determinants, tools such as autochthony, conquest, and I overlordship. It argues that allodial rights in lands in the Kpandai in the pre-colonial period resided in the Nawuri by virtue of rights of autochthony and autonomy.

Title A name given to the resource Candidate Selection and Nomination Methods: A Historical Review and Analysis of Presidential Primaries in Ghana’s Fourth Republic, 1992-2020 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Mathew Lobnibe Arah Description An account of the resource This paper analyzes the selection of presidential candidates in primary elections by political parties in Ghana’s Fourth Republic. It examines the formal intra-party rules and regulations that govern primary elections for the selection of party presidential candidate, and how this enhances Ghana’s democracy. Given that interpretation is central to this paper, exploratory case design is adopted. Drawing from documented material and semi-structured interviews, the results of analysis suggest that the intra-party primary election rules and regulations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) find expression in the electoral laws as contained in the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. The results show that there is no much variation in the intra-party rules of the two parties in their selection of presidential candidates. Also, both the NDC and NPP use closed system of primaries (this involved only registered party members who are elected and appointed executives, party appointees and party elders). The only variation is explained in the nomination and filing fees. The results of analysis further explained that the NDC and NPP have both departed from ‘National Delegates’ Congress System of presidential candidate selection to a ‘Nationwide Voting System.’The study also revealed that though, the NDC adopted an open primary system in 2015, it has since reversed to the closed system of primary election in 2019. The study concludes that the ways in which political parties select candidates play a crucial role in shaping political debates and politics in Ghana. The paper therefore recommends that the intra-party politics, primary … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FihyGVkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=FihyGVkAAAAJ:roLk4NBRz8UC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a8c627595bf3a26f506054b99a1d71b6.pdf 4a524b03723ae6561d14722de156defd Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource No Youth, No Conflict: The Youth Factor in the Nawuri-Gonja Conflict in Northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource In the 1970s, ethnic youth associations sprang up in Northern Region of Ghanaborne out of the local concerns and desires to stimulate community development through self-help progammes. This led to the crystallization of ethnic youth associations, including the Gonja Youth Association, Konkomba Youth Association, Dagomba Youth Association, Chamba Youth Association, Nawuri Youth Association, Nanumba Youth Association. These associations dominated the local socio-political space in the region, and spearheaded the politics of self-help and ethnic identity. Few years after their formation, ethnic youth associations had become powerful organizations in Northern Ghana to the extent that their activities began to push ethnic groups to the brink of conflicts. Using a historical approach that blended data from documentary and non-documentary sources, this study examined the socio-political activism of Nawuri and Gonja youths and youth groups as well as the participation of the youth in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict of 1991/1992. It also examines the role of Nawuri youth groups in peacebuilding after the conflict. The paper argues that Nawuri and Gonja youth groups were catalytical to the Nawuri-Gonja conflict and post-conflict peacebuilding.

Title A name given to the resource Historical analysis of the formation and structural organization of political parties in Ghana: a diagnosis of the national democratic congress Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Mathew Lobnibe Arah Description An account of the resource Political parties, particularly the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been vibrant in Ghana’s democratic space in the Fourth Republic. This paper examines the historicity of the development of the NDC. It establishes how the structural organization of the NDC pitches its appeal and attracts electoral support as a supplementary variable. Scholarship on the variables of the electoral fortunes of political parties in Ghana in the Fourth Republic has focused essentially on factors such as ethnicity, clientelism, ideological positions, retrospective voting, and rational voting. Little space has been given to the extent to which the structural organisation of a party plays an important role in electoral outcomes. This paper shifts the discourse from the traditional narrative that focused on the factors of the electoral fortunes of political parties in Ghana in the Fourth Republic to the study of the structural organization of political parties. Adapting the political development model to the study of the historicity of the structure of the NDC, this paper examined the historical formation and structural organization of the party. Employing an explanatory case study design, data for the analysis were drawn from textual studies and key informant interviews. The paper argued that the voting Ghanaian public and citizens in general seemed to be heavily tilted towards the attributes, values and principles the NDC represents as a ‘Third Political Force.’ The paper recommends that the philosophy of the NDC and its identity should be intricately grounded in real social democratic ideals, principles, policies and activities with definite levels of … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Фонд поддержки академических инициатив Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FihyGVkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=FihyGVkAAAAJ:3fE2CSJIrl8C Language A language of the resource English Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
