Mozambique, the Troubled Transition

In the wake of the agreement between the Government and Renamo, Mozambique may at last be on the threshold of an unprecedented period of peace in which serious attention can now be paid to development. This book makes a uniquely timely contribution with its analysis of the socio-economic and political experience of the past twenty years. In particular, it documents the extraordinary historical transition in which Frelimo, originally intent on meeting people's needs by building socialism, is today trying to rebuild a war-ravaged economy by means of market capitalism.
