为什么有些国家向其公民提供关键的公共产品--电力，而另一些国家则没有？我们通过解释加纳和乌干达在获得电力方面的显著差异来研究这个问题。今天，加纳在电气化率方面排名第二，而乌干达则是非洲大陆电气化率最低的国家之一。这两个案例的比较是有价值的，因为这两个国家在英国殖民统治之前处于大致相似的起点;这两个国家都有类似的中央集权的前殖民国家能力和大规模水电的潜在资源禀赋。我们认为，两国在能源领域国家建设的不同政治历史创造了围绕1劳伦M。麦克莱恩是布卢明顿印第安纳州大学政治学系的副教授。她的研究探讨了国家形成和公共服务提供的历史如何塑造公民身份。Christopher D.戈尔是加拿大多伦多瑞尔森大学政治与公共管理系副教授。他的研究和出版物侧重于东非的城市，环境和基础设施政策和政治。詹妮弗·N布拉斯是布卢明顿印第安纳州大学公共与环境事务学院的助理教授。她的工作研究了公共服务提供的治理，重点关注非政府组织和能源，并在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的地理重点。伊丽莎白·鲍德温是亚利桑那大学政府与公共政策学院的助理教授。她的研究探讨了国家和非国家行为体在能源和自然资源治理中的相互作用。Baldwin的研究成果发表在环境政策和公共管理期刊上，包括《政策研究期刊》、《治理》和《环境与资源年度评论》。
Why do some states provide access to a key public good, electricity, to their citizens, while others do not? We examine this question by explaining the remarkable differences in the level of access to electricity between Ghana and Uganda. Today, Ghana is ranked second in its electrification rate while Uganda is placed among the lowest on the African continent. The comparison of these two cases is valuable because these countries were at roughly similar starting points prior to British colonial rule; both countries shared similar centralised precolonial state capacity and the potential resource endowment for large-scale hydropower. We argue that divergent political histories of state building in the energy sector in the two countries created contrasting citizen expectations around the 1 Lauren M. MacLean is an Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Indiana University, Bloomington.

His research and publications focus on urban, environmental and infrastructure policy and politics in East Africa. Jennifer N. Brass is an Assistant Professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, Bloomington. Her work examines the governance of public service provision, with substantive foci on NGOs and energy, and a geographic emphasis on sub-Saharan Africa. Elizabeth Baldwin is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arizona’s School of Government and Public Policy. Her research examines the interplay between state and non-state actors in the governance of energy and natural resources.
