About the book

Do Consenso de Washington à Nova Desordem Global examines four decades of Mozambique’s relationship with international financial institutions. It follows the country from its accession to the Bretton Woods institutions in 1984 and the Economic Rehabilitation Programme of 1987 to the hidden debt crisis and subsequent developments.

Drawing on primary documents and comparisons with countries that made similar choices, the book concludes with a policy framework for Mozambique’s development up to 2036. The author calls this proposal the Consenso de Maputo (Maputo Consensus).

Published by África Gráfica & Editora, with publication sponsorship from Hidroeléctrica de Cahora Bassa. Foreword by Dr Basílio Zefanias Muhate; book presentation by Dr José Belmiro.
