The Constitution and Governance in Cameroon

---

This book provides a systematic analysis of the governance system of Cameroon
within the framework of the Constitution. It scrutinises the institutional structures
established by the Constitution and other legislative instruments and assesses the
ways in which they shape and construct contemporary governance in Cameroon.
The analysis is deployed through a historical exploration of constitutional
developments and the contemporary contextual application of the Constitution.
The book examines the operational dynamics of key institutions such as the
executive, the legislature, the judiciary, the National Electoral Commission, the
Constitutional Council and the National Commission on Human Rights and
Freedoms. It explores the extent to which these institutions have been designed to
address or influence contemporary governance challenges. It further provides an
in-depth original analysis of more recent features in the governance landscape such
as the Senate, the upper legislative chamber that has only been in existence since
2013 and the even more recent Constitutional Council established in 2018. Both
institutions were provided for in the 1996 Constitution and their role was deemed
vital to the democratisation process underpinning the adoption of that
Constitution. The book analyses and assesses the influence of these institutions
on the constitutional and democratic governance of Cameroon.
One prominent feature that permeates discourse on constitutional governance
in post-colonial states is the recognition of minority identities. Cameroon has
grappled with that issue in relation to the recognition of the English-speaking
minorities – the Anglophone problem. The book provides a comprehensive
analysis of that problem tracing its historical origins from the immediate postindependence
constitutional history of Cameroon to more contemporary
legislative developments. It explores alternative narratives geared at resolving
the Anglophone problem within the framework of the Constitution. It further
provides an original in-depth analysis of the recent 2019 legislative provisions
establishing a special autonomy status for the minority English-speaking North-
West and South-West Regions.
