The present research seeks to reflect on the degree of democraticity of Mozambican democracy and questions whether we have managed, as a society, to fulfill the promises of the 1990 constitution. The study also aims to discuss the relationship between democracy and Human Rights (HR) in Mozambique. Human rights are a historical achievement (Bobbio) that go hand in hand with democratic and liberal revolutions. In other words, the victory of democracies and liberal regimes is intertwined with the recognition, at least from a theoretical point of view, of human rights. In this context, we seek to understand, through the present study, to what extent the reasonable observance of democratic principles can be understood as an imperative for the protection of HR in Mozambique? We hope to understand the relevance of the reasonable observance of democratic principles for the protection of HR.

With this book the reader is invited to understand the participation of civil society in the political life of the state in the light of Marx's thought. Efforts are expanded to demonstrate that the Mozambican state is characterized by social and political exclusion and by a participation that is reduced to simple voting. Thus, it is urgent to analyze with the reader to what extent the theoretical resources of Marx's thought can be used to reflect the citizen's participation in the political life of the state. In this book, it is interesting to analyze the origin of the State and of Civil Society, and, finally, a reflection on the applicability of Marx's thought in Mozambique. From the analyses made, it was concluded that the State, according to Marx, is nothing more than an executive committee for the interests and businesses of the bourgeoisie. From this concept of the state, it follows that the participation of civil society in the political life of the state is, in a state conditioned by the bourgeois class, an essentially limited phenomenon.
