Abstract

Despite being hailed as a post-conflict success story following the 1992 Rome General Peace Accords, Mozambique has relapsed into recurring cycles of violence, including the recent insurgency in Cabo Delgado. This study investigated the fragility of this peace construction by analyzing the structural causes of conflict through the lens of John Burton’s Need-Based Conflict Theory (1991). Adopting a Systematic Literature Analysis (SLA) based on PRISMA guidelines, the research synthesizes findings from ten key academic articles published between 2020–2025. The analysis reveals that post-war stability was merely a negative peace characterized by elite settlements that failed to address non-negotiable human needs. Specifically, the findings highlight critical deficits in four dimensions, distributive justice due to elite resource capture; identity suppressed by hegemonic national narratives; security biased toward strategic assets over human safety; and recognition denied to victims and marginalized groups. The study concludes that sustainable peace in Mozambique requires a paradigm shift from managerial conflict settlement to structural conflict resolution that satisfies these fundamental ontological needs, particularly regarding economic fairness and cultural inclusion.

Abstract

This article examines how the tension between Melanesian solidarity and state sovereignty shapes the Melanesian Spearhead Group’s (MSG) diplomacy on the Papua issue. Drawing on a qualitative research design, the analysis is based on interpretive document analysis of MSG leaders’ communiqués, ministerial statements, and official declarations issued between 2010 and 2022. The study is informed by constructivism and norm contestation theory to assess how competing norms are articulated and managed in regional practice. It offers a novel contribution to International Relations by reconceptualizing the Papua issue in MSG diplomacy not as a problem to be resolved, but as a condition sustained through ongoing norm contestation. The findings reveal that Melanesian solidarity legitimizes regional attention while state sovereignty constrains collective action, producing a dynamic interplay rather than convergence. By demonstrating that ambiguity, selective activation, and discursive balancing function as stabilizing mechanisms, this article challenges conventional assumptions that unresolved issues reflect institutional weakness and instead shows how they can sustain regional cohesion.   KEYWORDS Melanesian Spearhead Group; Diplomacy; Norm Contestation; Papua; Sovereignty.
