Abstract

AMOAKO-GYAMPAH, AKWASI KWARTENG. When the chalks are down: the political economy of teachers’ unions protest actions under Ghana’s Fourth Republic. Revista Brasileira de Política e Administração da Educação [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.2, pp.349-370. ISSN 2447-4193.  https://doi.org/10.21573/vol34n22018.86364.

This article examines teachers’ unions protest actions under Ghana’s Fourth Republic. Situating the analysis within Ghana’s evolving political economy, I show how constraints in Ghana’s political economy as well as its often-faltering macro-economy have influenced and shaped teachers protest actions as well as conditioned governments’ responses to teachers’ unions’ demands.

Keywords : teachers’ protest actions; economy; Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
