The Oxford Handbook of the Economy of Cameroon
Cameroon's suboptimal economic experience since independence (1960) sheds light on broader issues of Africa's development narrative, and provides valuable economic and policy knowledge.

This has brought anger, disappointment, and violent conflict in several regions of the country. The Oxford Handbook of the Economy of Cameroon examines the reasons of Cameroon's unsatisfactory economic performance and draws lessons from successful development experience to help tackle these issues.

Africa
"This volume XI of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook on AFRICA - ESCAPING THE PRIMARY COMMODITIES DILEMMA presents and analyses policy-oriented papers, development projections, and proposals of how to overcome African countries' dependence on few primary commodities. The relevance of the issue to escape the primary commodity trap and to diversify into new products and markets is without doubt one of the major challenges for African countries. In the era of globalisation and increasing international competition it has however become much more difficult for African countries to diversify into new products and processes and to enter new niche markets successfully. This Volume XI of the Yearbook discusses the state of primary commodity dependence of African countries by analytical surveys based on examples of countries, sectors and products. Options for horizontal and vertical diversification are analysed by detailed case studies, and supply- and demand-side constraints for suc
