- Title
Mozambique’s pathway to probity: evolving legal responses to corruption.
- Authors
Levy, Samuel; Williams, Cerys
- Abstract
In recent years, Mozambique has attracted international attention with the prospect of vast mineral wealth offered by large-scale gas discoveries and the potential of its fledgling mining sector. However, the journey from protracted civil war through socialism to sustainable economic development is long and arduous and among its toughest challenges is the need to tackle a pernicious culture of corruption. An effective legal framework is clearly part of the solution and an extensive programme of law reform in this area, which started in 2011, remains ongoing in Mozambique. However, the last 10 years have seen little impact on corruption made by a succession of related legal changes. In this article, Samuel Levy and Cerys Williams consider the lessons that can be learned from a decade of legislative history and whether the current legal response to corruption has the ability to succeed where previous attempts failed.
