THE PRACTICE OF DIPLOMATIC PROTOCOL IN CAMEROON: Investment Promotion Instrument

Diplomatic protocol, often reduced to mere rules of etiquette, is in fact a powerful tool for attracting investment. Through an analysis of the Cameroonian case, this book demonstrates how a thorough understanding of protocol enhances a state's institutional credibility, reassures foreign investors and stimulates FDI flows. A targeted reform of Cameroon's protocol system could significantly transform the country's economic attractiveness.Structured in four complementary parts, this essay draws on international law, political science and development economics to analyse the normative and institutional architecture of Cameroonian protocol, its practical application and its shortcomings. Through comparisons with Rwanda, Morocco and Singapore, the author sets out precise and realistic strategic recommendations. A reference work for decision-makers, diplomats, investors and all those involved in building a Cameroonian economic diplomacy that lives up to the ambitions of Vision 2035.
