This doctoral thesis examines political implications of international development cooperation in Mozambique in three main time periods: (i) the period of socialist solidarity; (ii) the context of traditional north-north cooperation; (iii) the experience of (re) emerging southsouth cooperation. Our analytical work shows that the last forty years of Mozambique international development cooperation have provoked a series of political, economic and social transformations, resulting in the construction of an authentic artifact of external intervention. In this context, we analyze the political effects of the three proposals of development cooperation in Mozambique s domestic sphere. On the one hand, we find that international cooperation turns out to be a project of power that affects the production of public policies, the construction of autonomy and, more recently, the ongoing democratization process. On the other, we make it evident that international actors working in the field of development cooperation in Mozambique act based on their respective foreign policy interests and agendas. We also identify that the relationship between the different actors and the Mozambican state has shown key factors such as a weak state capacity, the existence of huge asymmetries between Mozambique and its partners, the addiction to development cooperation that transforms this relationship into one of the main sources of state maintenance, and the preservation of traditional political elites all factors that constrain the achievement of the real goals of development that the different forms and modalities of international cooperation to promise and attempt to promote.
