| Summary, etc. |
Policy-making is a political process involving a network of actors with varied interests. This article uses policy network as an analytical framework to understand the politics of decentralisation policy-making in Ghana from the perspective of interactions among interest groups. The article is based on a research study, which utilised semi-structured interviews and documentary sources in its data collection. It argues that the lack of progress in decentralisation i Ghana can be explained by the politics surrounding government - interest group relations. The article also provides evidence to indicate how varied interests represented within the decentralisation policy networks affected politics and in turn influenced decentralisation policy-making and outcomes. - Reproduced. |
