| | This book constitutes the first significant overview of Mozambique's development prospects since John Saul's edited book, A Difficult Road: Mozambique and the Transition to Socialism, published in 1985. Mozambican studies has produced a rich vein of research which gives this country a presence in academic literature which is disproportional with its marginality and poverty. But much of the work on Mozambique has recently - and probably partially in reaction to the general trend of the 1980s in which research on Mozambique was quite generalised and even abstract - involves itself in the particular: the district, the community, refugees and so on. Sustainable Development provides a book with a more ambitious scope. It aims to define a new development agenda and to encompass the whole country. |
