Broadening the Analysis of Peace in Mozambique: Exploring Emerging Violence in Times of Transnational Extractivism in Cabo Delgado
Abstract
This article explores the contemporary expressions of violence and oppression linked to the action of the extractive industry in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique. Twenty-five years after the signing of the General Peace Agreement, the debate on peace in the country has remained confined to the resurgence of armed clashes between RENAMO combatants and State security forces in recent years. It is proposed here, however, that the current range of violence that challenge peace in Mozambique is broader and more diverse, requiring an analysis that considers the arrival of transnational extractivism. This study, taking Cabo Delgado province as a case-study, aims to broaden the scope of academic debates by establishing a dialogue with the practice of local peacebuilding, and contributions from the critical political economy of development and the collective capability approach.
