Neoliberalism has become the dominant development agenda in Africa.
Faced with a deep economic and political crisis, African
governments have been compelled by powerful external agencies, in
particular the Bretton Woods institutions and western states, to
pursue this agenda as a necessary precondition for the receipt of
development aid. What is particularly striking in Africa, however,
is that neoliberal experiments there have displayed such remarkable
diversity. This may be due not only to substantial differences in
historical, economic and political trajectories on the African
continent but also, and maybe more importantly, in the degree of
resistance internal actors have demonstrated to the neoliberal
reforms imposed on them. This book focuses on Cameroon which has
had a complex economic and political history and is currently
witnessing resistance to the neoliberal experiment by the
authoritarian and neopatrimonial state elite and various
civil-society groups. It is the culmination of over twenty years of
fine and refined research by one of the leading scholars of
Cameroon today.
