Resumen

Entre 1977 y 1986, Mozambique y Cuba desarrollaron un programa de cooperación técnica vinculado a un proyecto de transición socialista. Este estudio analiza dichas misiones desde una perspectiva centrada en la politización de la lucha contra el subdesarrollo en el Tercer Mundo. Los intercambios examinados evidencian una reorientación de las prioridades ante el agravamiento de la guerra civil mozambiqueña, así como plasticidad de la planificación estatal en función de su implementación práctica y márgenes de autonomía en un contexto geopolítico tenso. En este proceso, la cooperación técnica operó como un laboratorio donde la solidaridad internacionalista y la gestión gubernamental —observadas desde la administración de la experticia técnica— dejan ver la adaptación estratégica de ambos países frente a los desafíos de la Guerra Fría tardía.
