Professor Jeffrey Haynes, Emeritus Professor of Politics at London Metropolitan University
The Centre for Democratic Development-Ghana (CDD-Ghana) has announced the availability of the 19th ‘Kronti ne Akwamu’ (Democracy and Good Governance) lecture, delivered by Professor Jeffrey Haynes, an Emeritus Professor of Politics at London Metropolitan University.
Titled ‘Religion & Liberal Democracy in the Fourth Republic’, the lecture was originally presented in November 2024, and is now accessible for reading and download. It explores the complex relationship between religion and Ghana’s secular constitution, democracy, and liberal freedoms.
Insightful and analytical
Professor Haynes’ analysis delves into how religious influence shapes key democratic principles, including freedom of expression, association, and personal liberty. His lecture further examines the extent to which religious beliefs and institutions interact with governance, political discourse, and policy-making in Ghana’s Fourth Republic.
For years, CDD-Ghana’s Kronti ne Akwamu lecture series has provided a vital platform for thought-provoking conversations on governance, democracy, and civic engagement. This latest edition adds to the ongoing dialogue on the intersection of religion and secular democracy, and its impact on Ghana’s democratic resilience.
The lecture is now available for download on CDD-Ghana’s official platforms. Visit https://cddgh.org/2025/02/kronti-ne-akwamu-19_religion-and-liberal-democracy-in-the-fourth-republic/.
