This thesis analyses the Ghanaian cocoa sector from the lens of International Political Economy. The essay examined the evolution of Politics, economics and social structures and the foreign policy of Ghana from pre-independence (1890s) to post-independence era (2012). The cocoa sub-sector of the Ghanaian economy, which has been a major source of wealth in contemporary Ghana, is the focus of analysis. The question ‘’Cui bonno?’’ Or ‘’who benefits?’’ is central to the investigation as the study tried to identify the major actors (international and local), their roles, interests and the powers they possess, where and how they derive their power, alliances in the Cocoa sub-sector and how the distribution of power reflects to an extend what, when and how actors benefit from the industry. “Why the smallhoder cocoa farmer does gets so little from his cocoa?’’, is one of the questions to which an answer is sought in this study. Naturally, this answer also covers the origins and structure of the power and influence that the multinational cocoa processors and manufacturers hold over the domestic and global cocoa economy.
