Conclusion: Ghana Renascent?—Mapping a Path for the Future

The emergence of the Fourth Republic—in which a renascent Ghana was deemed to be on the horizon—seemed to herald a kind of second independence for Ghana after the first in 1957. A generation after the 1992 Constitution came into force has Ghana been truly renascent? It is this vexing question that this chapter engages—drawing on the chapters in this book—with from constitutional, policy formation and communication perspectives. This chapter summarizes the findings, unpacks the lessons learned and discursively engages the implications of the findings and lessons through Ghanaian, comparative and theoretical lenses as well as their global scholarly value. The chapter rounds off with a look at future research directions within the querying framework of a renascent Ghana.
