Resisting agrarian neoliberalism and authoritarianism: Struggles towards a progressive rural future in Mozambique
Abstract
After nearly two and a half decades with a Land Law widely
considered progressive, Mozambique is preparing to revise
its legal framework for land. Land activists accuse the government
of pursuing an authoritarian approach, excluding civil
society participation, and falsifying public consultations.
The revision would mark a major shift in Mozambique's land
policy towards an even more neoliberal framework to allow
the transfer of individual land titles.
