Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pennsylvania, 1996.

This is a study of historical modes of governing the economy in Northern Cameroon. The research was conducted upon the premise that objects of the economy are established as such in the field of the political; the conditions for the production of representations of the economy are in part informed by political vocabularies (e.g. equality, propriety). This is an inquiry into the articulation between "the economic" and "the political." It examines how social strife in a particular regional political economy has taken the form of conflict over the nature of economic relationships, definitions of equity and propriety, hierarchies of value, and claims to legitimate authority over economic relations. Ultimately, this conflict brings into question the nature of the fiscal relationship between the state and its citizens. The dissertation relates this latter problem to the more general topic of the emergence of networks of wealth and power that undermine the nation-state form in the Chad Basin region. These are based on a diversity of forces that produce knowledge and representations about/of the economy in congruence with, or in contrast to, that produced by state power. The dissertation aims to clarify how such emergent spheres of power and wealth depend fundamentally not only on the legitimation of appropriations that help found monopolies over specific resources, but also on representation of a particular economic organization as corresponding to certain paradigms of social order. Judgments about the "legitimate" status of these trans- and sub-national bases are made according to these paradigms which are produced in historical, as well as internationally-defined, institutions of wealth generation and social welfare.
