Civic Engagement and Just Energy Transition in Mozambique: Grass‐Roots Perspectives
This article analyses the dynamic interactions between civil society organisations, local government, and the energy sector within three key energy-producing regions of Mozambique: Inhambane, Tete, and Cabo Delgado. It focuses on the challenges and opportunities for achieving a just energy transition in a political landscape prioritising investments in an energy matrix predominantly based on hydroelectric power, natural gas, and coal. Drawing on …
The Plantationocene as analytical concept: A Forum for Dialogue and Reflection
This forum for dialogue and reflection invites empirical and theoretical inquiries that critically interrogate plantations in their myriad forms through the conceptual analytic of the Plantationocene. In doing so, we understand, and invite attention to, the Plantationocene, both as a key for interpreting histories of local to global development and for understanding the role of plantationlogics today. Not all contributors need agree that the Plan…
The Multiple Paths of Extraction, Dispossession, and Conflict in Mozambique: From Tete’s Coal Mines to Cabo Delgado’s LNG Projects
When it comes to extractive processes, conflict, and peacebuilding, the case of Mozambique has recently taken center stage due to the emergence of an Islamic insurgency movement in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in its northern province of Cabo Delgado. This is but one part of a complex process of highly conflictual extractivist projects unfolding in the country. In this article, we argue that, beyond the specific case of LNG, there is a…

The dead archive: Governance and institutional memory in independent Mozambique
Translated from the Portuguese expressionarquivo morto, the dead archive is a site where files that have lost their procedural validity are stored for a determined number of years before they are destroyed or are sent to permanent archives. In Mozambique, where awareness and institutional capacity for proper archival procedures are still being developed, a common feature of the dead archive is the way in which files are untidily piled up with old…
Alternative Expressions of Citizen Voices: The Protest Song and Popular Engagements with the Mozambican State
This study examines Mozambican popular music to investigate three questions: Are notions of empowerment and accountability present in popular music in Mozambique? If so, what can these existing notions of empowerment and accountability reveal about relations between citizens and state institutions in general and about citizen-led social and political action in particular? In what ways is popular music used to support citizen mobilisation in Mozam…
Agricultural corridors as 'demonstration fields: Infrastructure, fairs and associations along the Beira and Nacala corridors of Mozambique
In the past decade, the Mozambican government has been mobilizing international capital to build and renovate transport infrastructure in the central and northern areas of the country, with the aim of creating agricultural corridors. Based on field research conducted in two districts along the Beira and Nacala corridors, I examine those occasions when international capital and national agricultural policy meet smallholders in the implementation o…
Demonstration fields', anticipation, and contestation: Agrarian change and the political economy of development corridors in Eastern Africa
In much of Eastern Africa, the last decade has seen a renewed interest in spatial development plans that link mineral exploitation, transport infrastructure and agricultural commercialisation. While these development corridors have yielded complex results – even in cases where significant investments are yet to happen – much of the existing analysis continues to focus on economic and implementation questions, where failures are attributed to inap…

Imagining Agricultural Development in South–South Cooperation: The Contestation and Transformation of ProSavana
This paper discusses South–South cooperation by examining ProSAVANA, a flagship agricultural development program seeking to apply Brazilian experience to Mozambique. ProSAVANA is a joint Japan–Brazil–Mozambique initiative in the savannah zone of Mozambique’s Nacala Corridor region that was initially inspired by the Japan–Brazil PRODECER program in Brazil’s Cerrado region. ProSAVANA subsequently became the focus of fears about land-grabbing in the…
Orientacoes superiores: Time and bureaucratic authority in Mozambique
This article examines the production, circulation, and interpretation of regulatory documents in contemporary Mozambique in order to highlight their central importance to processes of governance. The empirical focus is on orientações superiores - written and oral documents issued by figures and institutions of authority with the intention of advising on procedures for policy formulation and implementation. By producing orientações superiores in a…
