The Institutionalization of Political Science in Cameroonian Higher Education: Institutional Emergence, Epistemic Anchoring and Globalised Political Scientist Field
This study reports on the institutionalization of political science in Cameroonian higher education from the analytical perspective of the international transfer of standards. It makes it possible to discover that the managerial organization of the discipline, the development of training courses, the initiation to the manipulation of founding theories and the development of research trajectories are based on Western experiences. The corollary is the formation of an extrovert university space for emulation of the political scientist who, however, imposes himself as a player in the global scientific market through the alternative but cumulative knowledge he offers.
