1999
Amanor, K. S.
The interrelationship between the penetration of international capital, the restructuring of the economy, the political economy of social and class formations, and local livelihood struggles for access to resources provide a background to the study. Sections cover: the emergence of the modern agrifood system in the post-war economy; a review of private capital, state support structures and state sponsored research that favour agribusiness; the influences of this system on agricultural policies and structural adjustment in the Ghanaian economy and in the conceptualization of the land question; the evolution of land relations in Ghana from the colonial period to the present; the struggles of communities over land and livelihood issues and popular perceptions that have developed about the state, the economy and development in the Akyem region; and a general review of the land question and proposal for a new perspective in the study of land rights. Particular reference is made to forest food chains, timber and rural livelihoods in Ghana.
