"The economic crisis that began in 2008 has underscored the impact not only of embedded and assumed ways of managing the economy, but also that present circumstances are the product of a long period of experimentation and bounded diversity; it is understanding the nature of both that forms a central concern of this collection. This book redefines, develops and extends the emerging literature on internal diversity within varieties of capitalism, and the extent to which such internal systemic diversity goes beyond mere diffuseness to represent the coexistence of different logics of action within both liberal market and more cooperative varieties of capitalism. The collection is based on new, fresh material, from leading scholars in the field. The contributors come from a variety of perspectives within the broad socio-economic literature on institutions, and yet they all focus on the limitations of current institutional fixes, and the protracted and durable nature of the current crisis, which, the editors suggest, reflect profound changes in input costs and the utilization of technology. What characterizes this common ground is an inherent pragmatism, combined with an increasing sophistication in the usage of analytical concepts; illustrating the progression since the early work on comparative capitalism in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This book should be an invaluable resource for students and researchers of economic theory and philosophy as well as political economics and socio-economics. "--

Although insecure work may be found everywhere, the general lack of secure work in emerging economies is a particularly striking feature of the contemporary condition, undermining the continued viability of the labour movement in such countries. Yet, this topic is rarely tackled directly in African studies or business history journals. The two key questions addressed in this paper are, first, to what extent does the labour movement's past define their present and future, and second, what are the challenges and opportunities affecting their ability to mobilise workers, influence government and effectively tackle employment security? This article details how in Mozambique, unions' ability to mobilise has been affected by: the post-colonial, post-conflict and post-socialist historical context; the resulting legacies of regional and racial discrimination; international imperatives for liberalisation and privatisation; challenging relationships with the country's African neighbours; and high levels of informal sector work. In order to remain viable, key imperatives include: effectively influencing national government, engaging internationally and working with organisations representing informal sector workers.

BASED ON A RANGE OF DOCUMENTARY SOURCES AND IN-DEPTH INTERVIEWS, THIS ARTICLE FOCUSES ON THE CHANGING FORTUNES OF MOZAMBIQUE'S POLTICAL PARTIES FOLLOWING DEMOCRATIZATION. ON THE ONE HAND, MOST SEEM FIRMLY COMMITTED TO THE NEW MULTI-PARTY SYSTEM, WHILST THE PROSPECT OF A RESUMPTION OF GENERAL ARMED HOSTILITIES HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY REMOTE. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE FEW CLEAR POLICY DIFFERENTIALS BETWEEN THE MAJOR PARTIES. INDEED, THE BULK OF POLITICAL CONTESTATION CONCERNS ACCESS TO PATRONAGE AND MATERIAL RESOURCES RATHER THAN MATTERS OF PRINCIPLE.
