Crisis of legitimacy and evidence of political continuity. Political liberalization in Cameroon has to face the dichotomy of the growing loss of legitimacy of power and conservative adjustment. In this case , the crisis of legitimacy induces the logic of protest of the political order. However, the resulting challenge of the technologies of authoritarian managements, linked to the rise of people's anger, failed to stabilize the system of political influence. Democratic protest was domesticated by the ruling order. Thus released the dialectic of order and disorder, of liberal outcry and authoritarian ruling means a conservative negotiation of the stakes and interests between the State and the political opposition. Actors of Cameroon's political life will have to face complexities, contradictions and uncertainties for a long period of time
