The political economy of agricultural growth corridors: some first thoughts: • Neither state-driven ‘high modernism’ (Scott) nor enclave capitalism (Ferguson), but context-specific hybrid dynamic. • Endogenous capital and dynamics of accumulation crucial: diverting, upsetting , recasting grand plans and investments. • Contested visions of ‘development’ and ‘progress’ being played out, challenging and reconfiguring authority, with tensions and contradictions among elite alliances. • The...

This chapter explores these broader processes from the perspective of linkage creation in Mozambique related to mega-projects in natural resource extraction and development from a political economy perspective. From a resource fairness perspective, linkage creation is essential as it allows for a more fair distribution of opportunities for local firms to gain from large-scale natural resource investments and for learning and spillover effects to other parts of the economy. In a longer term...

This report uses a political economy analysis to shed light on some of the paradoxes that characterise Mozambique mid 2017: Entrenched poverty, the resuscitated armed conflict/war, the trust crisis between the Mozambican (Frelimo) government and its development partners, the spiralling debt and the party-state.

O livro aborda a questão da descentralização mediante uma abordagem multidisciplinar e multissectorial, considerando o ângulo visual de tipo político, assim como institucional, da administração pública ou da burocracia, da economia, das finanças (públicas) e da sociedade. O objectivo que se põe tem a ver com o relacionamento entre descentralização e democracia. Trata-se de um assunto conhecido e enfrentado várias vezes no debate próprio da ciência política: será que uma maior...

The brief systematises relevant findings from existing evaluations of development interventions in the country. The idea is to present the findings to the reader in a succinct and easily accessible format.

Without much preparation, Indonesia, in 2000, at a stroke replaced the previous system of centralized government and development planning with a wide range of decentralization programs. The reforms gave greater authority, political power, and financial resources directly to regencies and municipalities, bypassing the provinces. The powers transferred include those of executing a wide range of responsibilities in the areas of health, primary and middle-level education, public works,...

This paper analyses inclusive land governance in Mozambique. It focuses on the country’s legal framework and the DUAT, the right to use and benefit from the land. The DUAT is a distinctive element of the Mozambican legislation that has land as the property of the state but recognises land use rights for occupants and users on the basis of a unitary system of tenure. The challenges of putting in practice what is thought to be one of Africa’s most progressive legal frameworks are discussed....

The government of Mozambique remains confident that its mining boom is set to accelerate in the coming years, despite weak sentiment in the global mining industry. Rising coal production and an eventual rebound in global prices will spur some growth in Mozambique's mining sector in 2016‑20 but we expect that, weighed down by infrastructure deficits and non-competitive policies, it will remain a relatively small contributor to GDP growth. Mozambique has untapped coal reserves estimated to...

This article aims to analyse and explain the reasons behind the CSOs’ strong criticism of the ProSavana programme. This will contribute toward: (1) understanding the role of Mozambican CSOs as actors regulating international development cooperation projects; (2) revealing the political and economic interests behind ProSavana, as a first step toward a more critical approach to trilateral cooperation; and (3) illustrating through this case how a partnership between Brazil and “traditional”...

In the framework of efforts to fight extreme poverty and recognising the importance and need to protect the poor and vulnerable population, in 2007 Mozambique approved Law No. 4/2007 which structured social protection into three levels, including basic social security. In 2010 the first National Basic Social Security Strategy (ENSSB I) was approved for the period 2010–2014, including a set of old (e.g. the Basic Social Security Programme—PSSB) and new (e.g. the Productive Social Action...

Tema: Estrutura Geológica de Moçambique A estrutura geológica de Moçambique é resultado da interacção de vários processos, sobretudo os endógenos (internos) e exógenos (externos), que se fizeram sentir e ainda sentem-se na actual região da África Austral, onde Moçambique faz parte. Do ponto de vista geológico, Moçambique apresenta duas grandes unidades geológicas: Pré-câmbrico Fanerozóico

Seed systems in Mozambique There are three identified dominant seed systems in Mozambique, namely informal seed system (mainly farmer-saved seed), the intermediary (mainly administered by the NGOs and communitybased organizations) and the formal seed system that includes public sector and private sector (local and international seed companies). The farmer-saved and intermediary systems account for the bulk of seed volume transacted across the country (90%) focusing mainly on the local...

Indonesia's trade policy has evolved over the last 50 years. It has been influenced by the country's level of development and the conflict between openness and protectionism; external developments, such as commodity booms and busts and increased competition; and international commitments, whether multilateral or regional. As a result, trade policy has often been ambivalent and ineffective. Given that Indonesia has undergone various transformations and that the world is a different place from...

Em Fevereiro de 2008 e Setembro de 2010, as cidades de Maputo e Matola foram palco de protestos violentos contra a subida do custo de vida, protagonizados por grupos de populares. Tais protestos foram logo depois replicados em algumas outras cidades do país, mas numa dimensão bem mais restrita e rapidamente controlados pelas forças policiais. Em Novembro de 2012, um novo protesto se desenhou, mas a acção repressiva imediata nos locais críticos de concentração dos populares pelas forças da...
