The Sweedish political scientist who worked on Ghana and Nigeria passes on. He will be remembered for his militant denunciation of the dependency school and his confrontation with Claude Ake at the Marx conference in 1983 amongst others. His last research project was on Trade Unions and neoliberalism.

A most gentle soul Björn Beckman…
Our heartfelt condolences…May the Almighty be with his family….
We (my Better half and I) knew him and his wife Gunilla Andrae , and their children Peter and Malin at Legon , University of Ghana where Björn was conducting his doctoral research on what turned out to be his magnum opus “Organizing the Farmers: Cocoa Politics and National Development in Ghana”, still of immense importance, as long as there will be cocoa farmers and anything like a Ghanaian economy.
He was later on at Ahmadu Bello and back in Sweden he has mentored a host of African Academics, mostly doctoral students from Ghana and Nigeria, including Adebayo Olukoshi and ( I remember when I met him accidentally, one Rev Mohammad ( Hausa guy ) who was studying Human Rights in Nigeria – at the Political Science Department - at Stockholm University. I had thought that he was joking with me, when I introduced myself as Cornelius (the Roman centurion) and he introduced himself as “Rev. Mohammed!”
His wife Gunilla (Professor in geography) and an adviser to successive Social Democrat Governments) has also mentored her fair share of African academics
In the past decade – or shall I say in the past three decades whenever and wherever I have met him or her - for them, always pragmatic, always a moral issue - we have spontaneously discussed whatever was the topical African issue of the moment, lastly petrol subsidies
Professor Björn Beckman will be dearly missed.
