Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a systematic analysis of the major structural and institutional governance mechanisms in Cameroon, critically analysing the constitutional and legislative texts on Cameroon’s semi-presidential system, the electoral system, the legislature, the judiciary, the Constitutional Council and the National Commission on Human Rights and Freedoms. The author offers an assessment of the practical application of the laws regulating constitutional institutions and how they impact on governance. To lay the groundwork for the analysis, the book examines the historical, constitutional and political context of governance in Cameroon, from independence and reunification in 1960–1961, through the adoption of the 1996 Constitution, to more recent events including the current Anglophone crisis. Offering novel insights on new institutions such as the Senate and the Constitutional Council and their contribution to the democratic advancement of Cameroon, the book also provides the first critical assessment of the legislative provisions carving out a special autonomy status for the two Anglophone regions of Cameroon and considers how far these provisions go to resolve the Anglophone Problem. This book will be of interest to scholars of public law, legal history and African politics.

This book was released on with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Public Prosecution and Judicial Police in Cameroon, while tracing the historical background of the Legal Department, carefully walks you through its institutional framework and governing principles, while highlighting its omnipresence at all phases of the procedure (police investigation, preliminary inquiry, hearing before the Courts as well as in the execution of Court Judgments). The said ubiquitous presence is accentuated by the lawmakers who in some instances render it not only necessary but mandatory as well. Curiously, the Department of Public Prosecution is presented as that principal party who is not responsible for malicious prosecution. Chief Justice Bechem Eyong Eneke President Court of Appeal, Buea, South West Region &&&&& This book is incontrovertibly a major contribution towards the development of Cameroons legal system. It presents the Public Prosecution Department (Legal Department), incarnated by the Public Prosecutor (State Counsel), as one of the rare omnipresent actors in criminal proceedings whose presence in all phases of the criminal procedure is almost mandatory, while her role is primordial. It presents a cogent, critical, and lucid analysis of the multi-dimensional institution embodied by the State Counsel from a historical perspective and within the context of the CPC. In a clear and simple style, the book provides practical solutions to diverse theoretical and practical issues faced by legal practitioners in the application of the CPC pertaining to the institution the Legal Department. The discussion is incisive, meticulous, and buttressed with statutory provisions and available cases. Bih Che épouse Anye Nde Abegley State Counsel, Court of First Instance Bali, North West Region

Download or read book The Political Economy of Poverty Vulnerability and Disaster Risk Management written by Munyaradzi Mawere and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2017-11-29 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty remains a thorny and topical challenge and research topic to scholars and researchers on African development. Scholars in the Global North have since the Second World War sought to research poverty and underdevelopment in Africa, postulating what they think are the major causes of insipid and abject poverty in the continent, but with little or no success on how to solve the poverty enigma. Sadly, little research and homework have been done by scholars in context (in Africa) on why there seems to be more production rather than eradication of poverty and vulnerability in Africa and among Africans. This book is born out of the realisation for the need for both scholars on the ground and outside Africa to earnestly interrogate and reflect on the poverty situation that continues to haunt the people of Africa and rattle the conscience of the world at large. With contributors from across the continent and beyond, the volume offers a balanced and rigorous, multi-faceted analysis of Africas poverty and vulnerability from a rich tapestry of perspectives. The volume is handy to scholars and students in the fields of African and development studies, as well as to students of Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science and Policy Studies.
Download or read book Understanding Confusion in Africa written by Ateh-Afac Fossungu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-02-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cameroon is often considered to be Africas legendary pathfinder. This book argues essentially that Cameroon cannot competently champion African unity and progress until it can correctly pursue its own multicultural nation-building. Cameroon's success continental-wise would depend on its theory and practice of multiculturalism, as particularly reflected in (1) the rejoicing in its historical diversity and the harmonious co-existence of its Systems of Education which must, of necessity, be linked to (2) effective federalization or decentralization of uniquely cultural matters. Critically examining history and education as components of culture, and therefore, of multiculturalism, the book makes some bold recommendations while demonstrating how nation-building is meaningless without the peoples authentic history. It argues that Cameroon national culture cannot be a national culture without embodying the distinct culture of the English-speaking minority. Anything else is nothing but deliberate confusion of assimilation for multiculturalism, a confusion that is heavily tied to the countrys phoney independence. Hinging on education (and its associates of bilingualism and bijuralism), the book demonstrates that Cameroons over-sung cultural dualism is a charade, epitomized by the 1998 Education Law. Rather than reaffirm Cameroons biculturalism as it superficially avows, Cameroons purported cultural dualism is really out to efface any semblance of cultural or educational dualism that may still be resisting assimilation. The continuous and persistent employment of terms such as biculturalism, bilingualism and bijuralism in legal texts in Cameroon is only to confuse the international community, especially from seeing exactly the kind of ethnic cleansing which is taking place in the country.

These principles are broadly the same in other jurisdictions. The book balances theoretical content with case-law illustrations to enhance readability, comprehension and assimilation. It is an invaluable source and essential reading for law students and teachers, and lawyers in private practice and government service.
Download or read book Getting Africa Out of the Dungeon written by Ateh-Afac Fossungu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using one of the continents supposed pathfinders, Cameroon as case-study, this book interrogates judiciary in Africa in three domains. First, as the third branch of government, second, as the acknowledged umpire of federalism, and, finally, as a means of reversing the institutionalization of in-human rights and injustice administration in Africa. While examining the roots and causes of the persisting human rights and justice administration problems in Cameroon particularly, and Africa in general, the book through the tumbu-tumbu Long-Distance Government Theory (LDGT), argues for a rethinking and freeing of strategies currently used from close to a century of colonial and neo-colonial bondage, under the confusing covers of independence and of advanced democracy. The book challenges Africa to consider a mentality change, for a real judiciary transformative change. The book will interest legal practitioners, social anthropologists, development studies and political science practitioners, among other such practitioners in the social sciences and humanities.
Download or read book Democracy and Human Rights in Africa written by Ateh-Afac Fossungu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013-04-08 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the mid-1980s, there has been much federalism talk in Cameroon where federation (said to have been created in Foumban in 1961) had supposedly been overwhelmingly rejected in 1972 by Cameroonians. Confusioncracy is the one good term that could conveniently explain it. Written with the trilogy of criticism, provocation, and construction in mind, this book aims at reconstructing a new and vigorous society in Cameroon that ensures respect for fundamental human rights and certain basic shared values. Much as the book centres on the Anglophone Problem; it is principally about human rights and their excessive violations the direct result of the absence of separation of powers and constitutionalism. It largely condemns Cameroons government for incessantly singing democracy and rule of law at the same time as it is massively torturing and wantonly killing citizens that dare to question the confusion. While sharing the position that a state like Cameroon must be seen to ensure that its laws and other practices accord with its international commitments, the book nonetheless strives to apportion the blame for Cameroons human rights catastrophe accordingly; showing how the English-speaking minority itself, generally speaking, contributes to a large extent in propping up the dictatorship that is oppressing not only that minority but Cameroonians at large. The book challenges Cameroon to assume a leadership role in uniting Africans through meaningful federalization rather than further splitting them into incapable mini-states on the challenging world stage.
Download or read book Battling Language Rights Governance in Africa written by Ateh-Afac Fossungu and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to use the burning issue of multiculturalism (bilingualism particularly) to offer an appreciation of the roots and dynamics of the Ambazonia-Cameroun war, which has been raging for the past five years and counting. An understanding of Cameroon's language management and national unity policies is provided here through a comparative survey of the language politics of four other countries: two of them European (Belgium and Switzerland), one North American (Canada), and the other Third World and Asian (Indonesia). The author argues better language governance policies that gainfully protect minorities, as well as fostering the goals of national and continental unity and development, Cameroon (and, by extension, the anticipated UDA) must emulate from European countries like Belgium and Switzerland rather than from Canada which is traditionally regarded as 'the Cameroon of North America'.

Download or read book Cameroon s Predicaments written by Tse Angwafo and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2014-08-23 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with a variety of socio-cultural, economic and political problems facing Cameroon and the rest of Africa, with particular reference to unemployment, corruption, poverty, criminality, violence, insecurity, and moral decadence. It presents a critical analysis of government policies from the colonial era to the present time; arguing that most of these policies have been stalled by an uncommitted leadership. The regime in Cameroon has drifted away from basic managerial and democratic principles in in favour of the ethnicisation of politics, sterile consumption, clientelism and patronage. The book contends that corruption has become the main instrument of governance whereby the political and economic elites control the wealth of the nation at the expense of a majority who wallow in abject poverty and misery. Faced with the difficult economic and political situation, most youth and the intelligentsia have adopted official and unofficial means to circumvent all immigration rules to travel to affluent Western countries, the consequences notwithstanding. Brain drain is often the outcome. Further, it examines issues of social exclusion, political representation and marginalization with special focus on the predicament of Anglophone Cameroonians as a socio-cultural community. The inclusion of examples and case studies based on empirical and secondary data from Africa is intended to foreground the importance of comparison, and attract the interest of both academic and non-academic readership.
