Resource information
This volume includes some of the papers presented at the Inaugural Conference of the Institute for Social and Economic Studies (IESE), which took place on 19 September 2007, in Maputo. The articles contained in this volume were selected from the panel on “Southern Africa”. The topics of the Conference, on “Challenges for social and economic research in Mozambique”, and of the panels were broad and dependent on papers submitted. Hence, the current selection of papers does not necessarily address a common problematic in a consistent manner, or follow a common approach, and the sequence of articles in this collection does reflect any hierarchy.
Not all the articles are about Mozambique, nor are those that discuss Mozambique exclusively applicable to this country. But all of them are relevant for the development debate in Mozambique.
