Abstract
Description
This chapter argues that although Cameroon is frequently referred to as
“timid” in its pursuit of foreign policy, it uses international organizations as
“shields” in three ways: To shield it from its history of isolationism; To shield it
from economic and security volatility; and to shield it from international
interference in its domestic affairs.
