Abstract EN:

Our thesis is divided into three parts and deals essentially with two subjects. The first is the domination of europe, and in particular that of germany and france, in the dialectical relationship between colonization and civilization. The second is the political parties in cameroon and the dilemma they face in the political development process in that country. The story of colonization is not an ordinary story, even if it is related to an economic phenomenon (capitalism) and characterized by the use of force (imperialism). Since then, however, civilization has been based on the inequality between the people being civilized and the people bringing the civilization. Indeed, there can be no "civilizing mission" without the duties of civilization. The "civilizing mission" has not allowed the natives to become french because if that had happened, they would have experienced their rights as their duties. Thus, the capitalistic and imperialistic colonialism practiced by the french has been based on a "distinct" civilization that requires arbitrarily performing the duties of the colonized people. The political parties in cameroon came into being in this historical context. These parties, like those in most of the african countries colonized at the same period, have to reconcile two demands: the first is to fight against colonialism and the second, to provide the population with political structures. Thus, between 1945 and 1958, they gave themselves the task of transforming social forces (social conflicts) into political forces. For the parties in cameroon, politicization is a duty that falls on the people and not a right possessed because it is desired. They had recourse to all kinds of political actions, both violent and non-violent, irrespective of form or content. Through their efforts, the parties in cameroon were able to achieve a positive rather than the normative or doctrinal position that they had during the last phase of colonization. Whatever the basic socio-political conflicts may be, they will always exist and contribute to the functioning of a given society, because there is never a society without conflict. The political parties must face up to their responsibility with regard to socio-political conflicts. One characteristic of the political parties is that they form and break up constantly between groups of individuals who are united by common intere
