Globalization, Urban Progress, Urban Problems, Rural Disadvantages: Evidence from Mozambique

Stephanie Knauder demonstrates the mutual effects of, and the interconnections between, globalization, urbanization and rural stagnation, theoretically and empirically. The book places its comprehensive empirical investigation on two levels of urbanization, the peri-urban and the fully urbanized areas, including the analysis of the rural conditions in the context of the Southern African region but also in the context of global processes in an historical and interdisciplinary perspective.
