Book Description
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Gender Studies, grade: B, University of Cape Coast (College of Humanities and Legal Studies), course: History, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this long essay is to sample the contributions of the Enyan-Denkyira women to the development of the Enyan-Denkyira society. Specifically, the study seeks to examine Enyan-Denkyira women in political development, with attention to their roles in politics, decision making and the para-security agencies. And to evaluate the contribution of specific Enyan-Denkyira women to economic development. Though there exists a lot of literature on women in development and theories of women in empowerment, none of these talks about the Enyan-Denkyira women. In recounting the history of Enyan-Denkyira, it is evident that, nothing is said of women aside the evidence of their reproductive roles which allowed the continuation of generations. However, there is literature on Enyan-Denkyira men in development and these are captured in the town’s oral history where nothing is said of women but their place in the home. After independence, the trend has not changed much. This has created a gap in the knowledge of the history of the Enyan-Denkyira town and Ghana’s history as a whole. This long essay is an attempt to document the contributions of Enyan-Denkyira women to development that would give the contribution of some Enyan-Denkyira women to societal development as a response to filling this gap.

Spatial Planning in Ghana
Author: Ransford A. Acheampong
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3030020118
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
This book documents and analyses spatial planning in Ghana, providing a comprehensive and critical discussion of the evolving institutional and legal arrangements that have shaped and defined Ghana’s spatial planning system for more than seven decades; the contemporary policy instruments and mechanisms for articulating and implementing policies and proposals at multiple scales; and the formally established procedures for development management. It covers important themes in contemporary spatial planning discourse, including the evolving meaning, scope and purpose of spatial planning globally; the scales of spatial planning (i.e. national, regional, sub-regional and local); multi-level integration within spatial planning; public participation; the interface between urbanization, sustainable growth management and spatial planning; spatial planning and housing development; integrated spatial development and transportation planning; and spatial planning and the urban informal economy.

The Political History of Ghana (1950-2013)
Author: Dr. Obed Yao Asamoah
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 149698563X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 785
Book Description
This book is an instructive historical record of the First Republic of Ghana and the triumphs and tribulations of successive governments since 1950. It reminds us of the struggle between Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah and his political opponents in the period preceding the achievement of political independence for Ghana, the events leading to his overthrow, and its impact on the course of Ghanas history. It is perhaps the most comprehensive history to date of the Rawlings era, the establishment of the Fourth Republic, and the formation of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). The NDC came to eclipse the Convention Peoples Party (CPP) as the rival of the DanquahBusia tradition manifested in the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC), the countrys oldest national political movement originally formed to pioneer the independence struggle but later eclipsed by the breakaway CPP. The UGCC has undergone several transformations since and today is represented by the New Patriotic Party (NPP). The book well documents the challenges facing independent Ghana, including those related to the growth of democracy nationwide and within political parties. The African liberation struggle, the drama of the Congo crisis of the 1960s, and the Liberian crisis of the 1990s are graphically re-enacted to highlight Ghanas significant role in the events. It is perhaps the best account of the sacrifices Ghana and other ECOWAS countries, particularly Nigeria, made in returning peace to Liberia after a bitter civil war through the successful peacekeeping and peace-enforcement efforts of ECOWAS Monitoring Group (ECOMOG). The book sheds light on Dr. Obed Yao Asamoahs evolution into a politician of no mean achievement during the creation of the Fourth Republic and as the longest serving Foreign Minister and Attorney-General and Minister of Justice Ghana has ever known, offices he held simultaneously between 1993 and 1997.
