Abstract:	This collective volume examines the root causes and trigger factors of social conflicts in Ghana. The focus is on protacted conflicts, that is, conflicts which have defied several attempts to resolve them, dealing with issues of chieftancy, ethnicity and the often related disagreements over land ownership and control. The volume also addresses the role of governments, state and quasi-state institutions as well as non-state actors in conflict management in Ghana.
