Abstract

This study complements the extant literature by assessing the role of governance dynamics in food security in Ghana for the period 1980–2019. The empirical evidence is based on the fully modified ordinary least squares technique and governance is categorized into political (entailing political stability and voice and accountability), economical (consisting of regulatory quality and government effectiveness), and institutional (entailing corruption-control and the rule of law) governance dynamics. The study finds that the engaged governance dynamics improve food security in Ghana. Policy implications are discussed with specific emphasis on the sustainable development goals.

在加纳实现粮食安全：治理重要吗？

本研究通过评估1980-2019年加纳粮食安全治理动态的作用，对现有文献进行了补充。经验证据基于完全修改的普通最小二乘法，治理分为政治治理（涉及政治稳定、话语权和问责制）、经济治理（包括监管质量和政府有效性）和制度治理（涉及腐败控制和法治）。研究发现，参与治理的动态改善了加纳的粮食安全。讨论所涉政策问题时特别强调可持续发展目标。相关文章Ayanoore，Ishmael和Sam Hickey。2022.“重塑非洲自然资源治理的政治：加纳地方内容立法过程的见解”；政策50（1）：119–36。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12449.Oehmke、James F.、Sera L.Young、Godfrey Bahiigwa、Boaz Blackie Keizire和Lori Ann Post。2018年，《实现粮食安全的相互问责的行为经济学基础》，政治与经济；政策46（1）：32-57。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12244.Pelizzo、Riccardo和Zim Nwokora。2018年，《东非政党制度变革与民主质量》；政策46（3）：505–28。https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12255.
