Abstract

This article examines GDP Growth and Political Instability: Evidence from Conflict-Affected African Economies: Institutional Dimensions and Reform Pathways with a focused emphasis on Ghana within the field of Business. It is structured as a action research study that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.
