Doing Business in Cameroon examines the aftermath of that period of turbulence and unpredictability in the northern city of Ngaoundere. Taking the everyday encounters between business actors and state bureaucrats as its point of departure, the book vividly illustrates the backstage and interconnected dynamics of four different sectors (cattle trade, trucking, public contracting, and NGO work). Drawing on his training in law and social anthropology, the author is able to clarify intricate policy dynamics and abstruse legal developments for readers. A widespread picture emerges of actors grappling with the long-term implications of selective or suspended enforcement of legal rules. The book deftly illuminates a set of shifting configurations in which economic outcomes like monetary gains or the circulation of goods are achieved by foregoing the possibility of relying on or complying with the law. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Business enterprises $z Cameroon. 650 0 $a Trade regulation $z Cameroon. 650 0 $a Industrial policy $z Cameroon. 651 0 $a Cameroon $x Commerce. 651 0 $a Cameroon $x Economic policy. 650 7 $a Business enterprises. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00842519 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Industrial policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971433 650 7 $a Trade regulation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01153817 651 7 $a Cameroon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01212703 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781108557504 830 0 $a International African library ; $v 56. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214012329.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A4A72DC462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
