One of the enduring characteristics of post-independence Africa has been the inability to fashion stable, meaningful political economies. Material progress has been slow and painful for most people. Akwasi Osei's study, a reinterpretation of forty years of Ghana politics, shows that, ideological differences notwithstanding, the successive regimes have adopted remarkably consistent policies. They have been constrained by the nature of the Ghanaian state.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Akwasi Osei has written a timely book. Professor Osei demonstrates with historical evidence how and why such an approach could help liberate Africa in general, and Ghana in particular, from the clutches of neo-colonialism. The book gives the uninitiated a guided tour of Ghanaian political and economic history. For those who are veterans in the field of African Studies, this book becomes a useful reference with information that adds to the growing literature of Ghana." -- Dr. Sulayman S. Nyang, African Studies Department, Howard University
"Professor Akwasi Osei has written a very important book on African economic development problems. Professor Osei provides critical reviews of the model and theories that are used to explain and design development policies for Third World countries. He focuses on the role that the state should play to engineer viable development and whether the state is capable of taking a position in favor of non neo-colonial policy. Professor Osei opts for a self-reliant strategy of development." -- Tetteh Kofi, Professor of Economics, University of San Francisco
