Contested Peace in Mozambique

Manuel Francisco Sambo

4.9/5 (16770 ratings)

Description:This book explores the complexity of peacebuilding in Mozambique following its devastating 16-year war. While international efforts aimed to establish a stable market democracy, this book reveals how the country’s post-war journey has been marred by recurring violence and the rise of authoritarian governance. Drawing on extensive qualitative research of historical and contemporary challenges, the book transcends traditional critiques of liberal peacebuilding by navigating the intersection of liberal ideals and authoritarian practices. It meticulously examines how Mozambique’s leadership has outwardly embraced liberal strategies such as dialogue, decentralisation and entrepreneurship while simultaneously deploying authoritarian tactics to maintain control. Through this dual approach, the book argues, Mozambique has developed a form of "contested peace" marked by violence, instability and unpredictability. This book offers theoretical contributions and empirical insights to scholars, students, and practitioners. It sheds light on the delicate balance between liberal and authoritarian governance and provides a fresh perspective on how peace can be achieved—and lost—in post-conflict nations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
