*This is certainly one of the best books on the current decentralisation initiatives in ¿ytica.
What I appreciate most is that the author employs an interdisciplinary approach to his subject.
This helps him to provide us with an exceptionally detailed and comparative picture of how these
externally-inspired national policies interact with long-standing local political dynamcis in his
home country, Cameroon. "
DR PIET KONINGS, Sociologist, African Studies Centre Leiden
“The author combines his skills in political science theory and anthropological methodology
to argue that the long term historical legacies of ethnic regionalism in Cameroon requires the
researcher to move back and forth between a top down perspective on elites and a bottom up
understanding of the worlds of ordinary lives and conditions of existence. The result is an
exemplary study that has far reaching comparative lessons for African studies. ”
MICHAEL ROWLANDS, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology,
University College London
“One of the strengths of Numvi Gwaibi’s book is that it involves comparative analysis of
divergent responses to the implementation of decentralisation policy, drawing on field research in
two locations in Cameroon”
JOHN SHARP, Emeritus Professor of Anthropology and South Africa Director, the
Human Economy Research Programme, University of Pretoria
This book explores how policies of decentralisation and community participation
adopted in Cameroon in 1996 have played out on the ground since 2004. These reforms
were carried out amid economic crisis, structural adjustment and political upheaval. At
the time, popular sentiment was that change on the economic and political fronts was
imperative. However, the ruling elite, some of whom had been shuttling around the
state apparatus since independence, feared that succumbing to popular demands for
change was tantamount to political suicide, as was the case elsewhere on the continent.
These elites thwarted opposition demands for a ‘sovereign’ national conference to
discuss constitutional reform. The Francophone-dominated elite fiercely objected to
Anglophone demands for the restoration of the Federal state that was dissolved in
1972. Instead, decentralisation was presented as an authentic forum for grassroots
autonomy and municipal councils as credible arenas for community participation
in local development. This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to unearth
the permutations of decentralisation and community participation in Cameroon. It
explores how local actors have responded to the implementation of state policy of
decentralisation. Further, it documents how local issues observed in Bali in the North
West Region and Mbankomo in the Central Region of Cameroon impact and are
impacted by national policies and processes.
