Turbulence and Tranquillity: Maintaining Industrial Peace in Ghana’s Fourth Republic
Abstract
Successive governments have since Ghana’s independence made various attempts to maintain industrial harmony. The attainment of this single laudable goal has been illusive as labour agitations for improved conditions by public sector workers continually welcome every government that comes to power. With the passing of the Labour Act and the subsequent establishment of the labour Commission one would have thought that the remedy to the age-long debacle had been found and such agitations were going to be a thing of the past. But that has not been the case. The struggle continues as if no serious attempts have been made to find a lasting solution to the problem. This paper examines events in the industrial front in Ghana’s Fourth Republic using the lenses of the unitarist and pluralist theories of industrial relations.

Re-emergence of Military Coups d’etat in Africa: Lessons for Ghana’s Fledging Democracy
Abstract
Ghana, like many other African states, was caught in the throes of military coups d’état, counter coups, abortive coups and coup plots. The phenomenon, which was rife during the 1960s through the 1980s, subsided and seemed to have disappeared from the continent with the wind of democratization sweeping across the globe which brought in its wake transitions from military dictatorships to democratic rule. Corruption, constitutional crisis, ethnocentrism and bad governance are some of the prime factors the military adventurists often cite as grounds to justify their intervention in governance. With the pockets of military interventions and abortive coups raring their ugly faces on the continent again after almost two decades of respite, it becomes imperative to resume discussions on the coup phenomenon. This paper seeks to contribute to the debate on the motivations for frequent military take-overs and lessons Ghanaian political leaders must learn in order to avert a reversion to the eras of coups.

Using E-Governance to Unlock Corruption In Ghana
Abstract
Corruption has become a social, political and economic canker which is wreaking havoc in many countries, both advanced and developing. The phenomenon continues to assume many new dimensions in modern times and for this reason, modern strategies have to be found to tackle it head on. The adoption of e-governance has proven to be one of the effective means to curb the menace, especially in developing countries. E-governance involves the application of ICT for government with an aim of improving the efficiency with which citizens receive services. The application of E-governance also helps in dealing with corruption through increased accountability, eliminating gatekeepers or minimizing interaction of civil servants and citizens, and increased transparency. The corruption phenomenon has been identified as one of the barriers to economic growth so, any attempt to uproot it will certainly translate into improvement in economic growth. Corruption reduces foreign direct investment (FDI), diverts government funds meant for providing development projects to non-beneficial investments and thus retards development. Thus, corruption leads to increased poverty and with e-governance it is possible to reduce the problem. Use of e-governance in reducing corruption is more beneficial for developing countries than it is for developed countries.
