State fragility in southern Africa: Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe

This seminar discusses new Chatham House research on the regional impact of political trends in these three countries.

The current crisis in Zimbabwe is greater than in 2008 and has significant regional and international impact. This seminar presents results of a new research paper by Chatham House’s Africa Programme on the implications of Zimbabwe’s economic reform agenda.

Much of southern Africa is also under political and economic stress. Speakers will draw out lessons from Zimbabwe for the region and discuss the impact of political trends in Angola and Mozambique on the future political landscape in southern Africa.
