This is terrible news! Beckman was one of the most insightful political economists that ever lived. He also mentored generations of Nigerian scholars, including Professor Attahiru Jega through whom I met him.
May his soul rest on peace.

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.
