The Development of Mozambique After the Declaration of Independence

Bachelor thesis "The Development of Mozambique After the Declaration of Independence" studies events and links, that have happened in this country since the declaration of the independent state in 1975 up to the present and possible future evolution of the state. The fundamental topic is the civil war between the ruling and former marxist-leninist party FRELIMO and opposition rebel movement RENAMO, lasting 17 years and determining the development of Mozambique for the coming decades. The thesis covers not only the course of the internal conflict, but also its roots, its reflection on the international scene and also the role of international community, especially the one of the UN and the ONUMOZ peacekeeping mission in the process of democratisation and the transition to the multiparty system. In the last chapters, the thesis deals with the own consequences of the war on many levels and predicts a possible future evolution of the country. This text covers many topics and is dedicted to both the international relations experts and the public interested in the course of events in the region of southern Africa
