(NEO)LIBERAL PRACTICES IN MOZAMBIQUE AND THE NEW POLITICAL PRAGMATISM FOR SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

In studies of neoliberalism, more fundamental than the most evident characteristics of thought, facts relating to political practicality can be revealed that have led to incessant searches for solutions on the correct way to manage freedom for a healthier coexistence at the economic, social and political levels. Therefore, we try to understand in it the mechanisms of political practicality for social development in Mozambique, and the relationship that Mozambique's policies have with the new models of social development linked to neoliberal components.  Methodologically, we looked for numerical and statistical data that mirror the Mozambican reality, aided by documentary and bibliographic analysis.  We understand, the problems contained in (neo)liberalism as creators of a political syndrome transformed into tradition and that focuses on the vulnerableization of the political system, in the ideological construction of everything being on the ideal path, as, in the ideological perpetuation that Mozambican society has a vulnerable characteristic and inability to make profound changes of prosperity. In addition, we understand that the fear of freeing the political framework, society, and the fear of imposing order on the institutions on which Mozambique is dependent, lies in the hearts of many Mozambican politicians and in the hearts of most Mozambican society.
