Abstract

SOME REFLEXIONS ON THE MEANING OF THE CONCEPTS OF STATE AND "PAYS" IN CAMEROON - In the French language there are two concepts very much used for the territorial reading of space: state and "pays". Basically, we assume that a state is a space of integration, whereas a "pays" is a space of attachment. The concept of "pays" was introduced in Cameroon from the metropolis with a meaning close to the concept of state, and it has been re-utilized by Cameroonian people depending on the successive contexts of colonization, decolonization, independence and, nowadays, democracy.
