  • More about Power, Patronage, and the Local State in Ghana

The book explores how political competition affects the local state in Ghana, showing how closely fought elections drive local state institutions to provide patronage. It also shows how electoral competition affects how local state actors are insulated from such patronage demands, and how these highly competitive, patronage-providing local governments have relatively better-qualified senior civil servants at their disposal. The book draws on fourteen months of fieldwork in six of Ghana's districts and has relevant implications for states across the developing world.
