Author	Somuah, Rudi B.
Title	A Critical Examination of Jeremiah John Rawlings: Uprising, Politics and Populist Democracy in Ghana 1979-2005.
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2006
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Jeremiah John Rawlings, Ghanaian air force pilot and populist politician ruled Ghana for almost two decades between 1981 and September of 2000. Rawlings, who began his leadership career as a military ruler, later went on to become a democratically elected president through a successful process of political transmutation. As a revolutionary politician, John Rawlings was as charismatic, as he was controversial. This thesis critically examines historical accounts and major political events that shaped the Rawlings military and civilian administrations. Specifically, this thesis carefully traces the origins, settings and processes that fostered Ghana's transition from military to civilian government under Jerry Rawlings. Furthermore, the thesis assesses the views of Ghanaians residing in the North Eastern portion of the United States, regarding their perception of Jerry John Rawlings of Ghana, and his political leadership through the use of a demographic questionnaire and a survey. The survey addressed broad facets and sectors of the Rawlings military and civilian administrations. Using the responses provided by the participants of the survey as a basis, multiple conclusions were drawn from the results of the survey to determine Jerry Rawlings' contribution to Ghana's growth and development. Finally, the thesis highlights Rawlings' sociopolitical legacy to the Ghanaian people and the implications of his present political actions as a former president and elder-statesman of the Republic of Ghana.
