THE GREAT DIRECTIONS OF CAMEROON’S ECONOMIC POLICIES DURING PRESIDENT AHMADOU AHIDJO’S POLITICAL REGIME, FROM 1960 TO 1982: A HISTORICAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: The history of Cameroon is yet to be written. However, Cameroon can only make history starting from the material elements shaping its evolution, elements having succeeded the test of time. In Cameroon, as everywhere else in Central, Southern, Western or Eastern Africa, the years that followed its independence were marked by severe socio-economic mutations and have led to the transformation of the economic outlook in these newly independent states. In this phase of economic boom, Cameroon could not stay behind. Under the guidance of President Ahmadou Ahidjo, the orientation of economic policies reached the phase of planned liberalism on one hand and self-centered development on the other hand.The hereby paper depicts the way in which Cameroon, in the dawn of its independence, has elaborated its strategies of progressively reviving all the key sectors of its economy by employing a planned liberalism and a self-centered development. It also presents the factors having led to the various economic mutations, the major axes seen as the core elements of Cameroon’s social and economic development.
