dc.description.abstractOne-party Mozambican assemblies were weak institutions limited to ratifying executive decisions. However their multiparty successors are increasingly becoming institutions that matter in politics assigned with responsibilities of law-making, oversight, representation and constituency service. Nevertheless, theoretical and comparative work on the development of the Mozambican legislature has been limited. This study contributes to comparative legislative studies by assessing and comparing the process of legislative development and performance in Mozambique’s first three multiparty assemblies – Fourth (1995-1999), Fifth (2000-2004) and Sixth (2005-2009). It examines the extent to which the Mozambican legislature developed and performed its main responsibilities using institutional level data from legislative standing orders, legal provisions and archives, and the African Legislatures Project over a 15-year period from 1995 to 2009.en_ZA
