Daniel Kojo Leon Brenya Yeboah is a Ph.D. candidate at the University for Development Studies, Ghana and the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Leon holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) and an MPhil in History from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Ghana, and the Higher School of Economics, Russia, respectively. He possesses over six years of research experience. His research focuses on Agro-pastoral relations, natural resource conflict, and state-building in Ghana, West Africa.
My work in the last four years has focused on Agro-pastoral conflicts in rural Ghana. The research examines the causes of Agro-pastoral conflicts, why they sometimes escalate, and their impact on the authority of politico-legal institutions. I also work on instituting local peacebuilding and conflict resolution bodies, offering guidance to sub-governmental and traditional institutions toward minimizing violent conflict between agricultural groups.
