This dissertation is about the emergence of old and new political actors such as régulos, returnees and NGOs in Mocumbi, Southern Mozambique and the local appropriateion of a neo-liberal democratic discourse. It explores local power dynamics in the context of post-war democratization and decentralization policies in Mozambique and provides historical evidence that suggests the centrality of family elders in local politics in Mocumbi. Due, in part, to the predominace of scattered settlements and abundance of land in this part of the country, colonial and post colonial administrative structures have respectively proved ineffective in extending Portuguese control, promoting rural development or democratising the socialist party state, instead - all external power structures have been reshaped and appropriated locally. 2014-07-29T20:27:20Z 2014-07-29T20:27:20Z 2004 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3628 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
