Governance and development -- section 2. Governance and the higher education system -- section 3. Governance and the economy -- section 4. Governance and societal issues. 520 8 This book deals with the important subject of governance and development. Even more significantly, the book has the merits of critically evaluating the concept of good governance in an African context, identifying the internal factors that impinge on good governance and development, and proposing solutions. It provides empirical evidence on the extent to which inappropriate governing strategies are the main internal obstacle to development in Cameroon. The authors discuss factors contributing to precarious and problematic governance from multidisciplinary perspectives, and demonstrate the extent to which such inadequacies impede positive social change. To promote effective development, the authors argue for the implementation of a good governance strategy that comprises, inter alia: adopting appropriate development strategies; decentralizing administration to make for popular participation and ensure accountability; taking the necessary steps to fight corruption; and ensuring the enforcement of property and cultural rights. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1919741 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 651 0 Cameroon|xPolitics and government.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85019144 651 0 Cameroon|xEconomic conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85019137 651 0 Cameroon|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n81035273 |xOfficials and employees.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh00005024 651 7 Cameroon.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1212703 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Fonchingong, Tangie Nsoh.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n85035827 700 1 Gemandze, John Bobuin.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2009186800 776 08 |iPrint version:|tCameroon.|dMankon, Bamenda : Langaa RPCIG ; East Lansing, Mich. : Distributed in N.
