MOZAMBIQUE IN THE INTEGRATION PROCESS IN SOUTHERN AFRICA DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITY (SADC)

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the role of Mozambique in the region of Southern Africa. Without making an exhaustive analysis of the integration process in SADC, the article seeks to understand Mozambique’s contribution to the political, economic and social development of the SADC region. The advantages resulting from its geostrategic location and its commitment to the cause of the liberation of countries that were under the domination of minority regimes were factors that contributed to Mozambique’s performance of a crucial role in developments in the Southern African region.
