Description
Summary:Mozambique, because of its history, has been much influenced by international events and conditions. The colonial process in Mozambique imported the administrative structure from Portugal with complete disregard for local administrative logic and functions. Here, Rosario and Machiana discuss if and how concepts of such nation, democracy and gender are relevant, efficient and incorporated into electoral discourses as a part of the Mozambican democratization process. Global ideas have been aiming at results without regard for processes to such a degree that society has not been able to keep up with institutional intentions and policies.
