{"product_id":"civil-society-and-the-search-emmanuel-yenshu-vudo-9782869782204","title":"Civil Society and the Search for Development Alternatives in Cameroon","description":"Recent developments have witnessed the emergence of civil society as a major development actor whose potentials and capacity, especially in Africa, are often taken for granted and treated as limitless. A critical assessment of some of these structures (NGOs, religious organisations, trade unions, home-based associations and the youth) and the legal and political context of the operation of civil society in Cameroon shows a popular effervescence that is visible in social development initiatives. Although this would complement the state and free enterprise, it is however often frustrated by the states suspicion in a context of rising social awareness and protest that is assimilated with political opposition or attempts at manipulation along partisan lines. This book is a call to reform the framework of civil society and assess its components and roles in shaping the future of Africa. Emmanuel Yenshu Vubo is a Senior Lecturer in Sociology. He obtained his Doctorate from the University of Yaounde in 1991 and has served in several capacities at the University of Buea.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Emmanuel Yenshu Vudo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2869782209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782869782204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Codesria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Emmanuel Yenshu Vudo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442794115327,"sku":"9782869782204","price":50.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22ac6dd1-dac3-4710-9d9e-f948fd980a6f.jpg?v=1777199818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/civil-society-and-the-search-emmanuel-yenshu-vudo-9782869782204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
