Abstract

[Post-independence studies of professionalization in West Africa have suggested that the model is of limited value because of the very different circumstances compared to those in Europe and North America. Johnson, for example, suggests that the professions were too dependent on the state to be able to form effective autonomous power bases. Dependence, he argues, was a consequence of the scale of patronage of colonial authorities for professional services: ‘in the absence of a heterogeneous middle class providing sources of demand for professional services, the conditions for professional autonomy are also absent’. Robin Luckham in his study of the Ghanaian legal profession highlights the role of British laws and the transplantation of the British legal system on developments there.]
