Accepted Paper:
Elite Convergence and Corruption: The Case of Ghana
Johanna Svanikier
(Oxford University)
Paper long abstract:
Elite theory suggests that a consensus for democracy is most likely to be sustained when there is integration amongst political elites. In Ghana several cases of alleged corruption have been brought by the current government against members of the previous government. Within the Ghanaian media there have also been several allegations of corruption against the current ruling government. This paper will consider whether the issue of corruption is one of the main threats to political elite integration in Ghana.
