Abstract
This study examines the contrasting dynamics of gas exportation and importation in Mozambique, challenging prevailing research that predominantly concentrates on energy export. While Mozambique's gas policy prioritizes exports, neglecting domestic processing and infrastructure development, increasing demand for LPG signals a shift. This transition reveals divergent governance logics, with exportation centralizing revenue, reinforcing state power, and raising concerns about citizen benefits. In contrast, importation governance, driven by fuel subsidies, emphasizes attempts to manage social unrest and balance economic incentives. This analysis exposes contradictions in Mozambique's energy development and challenges prevailing notions of energy governance in African states.
