I have three key areas of research interests:
My PhD thesis addresses a theoretical and policy question on ideology. It analyses how ideologies shape African states’ foreign policies. I contend that the argument that puts ideology on the fringes of policy analysis in Africa does so not because ideology is unimportant but because the African-centric literature is yet to catch up with the contemporary conceptual developments in the field. This hinders its analytical utility regarding the foreign policies of African states. Therefore, a way ideology can be brought back is by reconceptualising the concept and building a framework that establishes a synergy between thought and action. It shows how such complementarity helps push ideology beyond the frontiers of just thinking to its influence on actual policymaking. I demonstrate this by drawing on practical examples from Ghana and other African countries to explore how ideology can add to our understandings and insights into African states’ foreign policies.
