From governance representation to institutional dynamics

2008 · Gouvernance et Intelligence Artificielle

Published by Afrédit in Yaoundé, Gouvernance et Intelligence Artificielle — Bâtir une administration performante introduces AuDiT through automation, digitalisation and transparence (pp. 14–16).

The arbre organique de gouvernance joins structures, actors and assigned missions (pp. 117–118). It makes governance loads examinable through responsabilité, poids and valeur (pp. 124–128, 134–137). The book distinguishes the arbre théorique described by organizational texts from the arbre fonctionnel reflecting actual arrangements (p. 129).

2018 · Digital public administration

Exploring a new model of public administration in a digital age: automation, digitization and transparency explicitly cites the book’s governance definition, stakeholder categories, load diagram and virtual governance network. The ministerial chart and integrated architecture also carry forward into the article.

The paper illustrates how institutional representation can help examine conflicting or outdated policies and proposes converting machine-readable provisions into governance charts.

2026 · An ongoing continuation

In Institutional Mechanics in the Age of AI — Responsibility, Delegation, and Structural Drift, Djamen returns to structures, actors and missions and models assignment, occupancy and execution as distinct relationships. Algorithmic execution and human imputability receive separate treatment (pp. 31–32).

The manuscript remains in development. It expands the treatment of missions to include normative objectives and develops a different formal account of structural load and responsibility.

The current research programme

Control Erosion, Quiet Failure and Misalignment without misbehavior examine distinct questions about institutional control, monitoring and cross-level divergence. The earlier work supplies documented structural distinctions and a basis for conceptual comparison with these later questions.
