ABSTRACT
This chapter investigates the prospects and challenges for securing human rights through civic action in Ghana. On the spectrum of political contexts that are covered in this book, currently Ghana represents a relatively stable democratic setting, given the progress made in consolidating democracy since the return to multi-party democracy in 1992 (Abdulai and Crawford 2010). Therefore, the Ghana case enables investigation into whether a context where civil and political rights have become fairly well protected has facilitated the emergence of struggles for social and economic rights.
