Securing permanent diplomatic missions in Cameroon

In the wake of repeated acts of violence against diplomatic missions, Cameroon, like most states in the rest of the world, has been forced to adopt security measures to ward off possible threats. Such a context calls for the establishment of security measures for diplomatic missions. This raises the question of how diplomatic missions are secured. Better still, how are diplomatic missions secured? From this cardinal question derive two subsidiary questions: how is the security of diplomatic missions planned? And how is the security of diplomatic missions operationalized? Following the collection of data enriched by realist, transnationalist and strategic approaches, this architecture of questioning leads to a binary demonstration: on the one hand, planned security through a configuration of actors involved in the process and an adjustment of means; on the other hand, operationalized security, revealing strategic and dynamic realities.
