Régime de parti unique et systèmes d'inégalité et de domination au Cameroun : esquisse.

J.-F. Bayart. Single Party Regime and Patterns of Unequality and Domination in Cameroon: An Outline. 'Pro-Western'—or 'non-socialist'—African single party regimes are often accused of being mere puppets of the neo-colonialist, capitalistic 'center'. Yet, even if the generai model of center/periphery relations holds substantially good, a closer look at regimes such as the Camerounian one shows that they manage to retain, within this framework, a certain freedom of action. The same phenomenon obtains to a degree at the level of international relations where the dominance effects are alleviated simultaneously by survivais of precolonial patterns and by the effects of social change.Leguil-Bayart Jean-François.
