近年来，莫桑比克因发现了巨大的煤和天然气储量而引起了国际关注。莫桑比克采掘业繁荣的一个主要焦点是太特省。太特省曾经是一个偏远的前哨站，但现在是南部非洲地区的发电中心，也是全球煤炭开采投资的新兴中心。来自成熟和新兴经济体的一些世界上最大的矿业公司已经来到太特，投资数十亿美元开发特许权，以开采世界上最大的未开发煤炭储量，对该地区的政治经济产生广泛影响，并影响国家，资本和领土控制之间的关系发生重大变化。在城市范围内，太特市及其不断扩大的周边地区越来越多地以飞地和封闭空间为特征，因为一些群体受益于并融入全球生产循环，而另一些群体则遭受流离失所和剥夺。在寻求跟踪太特省的资源经济的出现，本文认为，三个独特的空间性产生了这些发展，包括基础设施网络建设周围的采掘业，飞地空间所产生的煤炭繁荣（和特定的劳动力地理，塑造他们）和新的和独特的城市地理是太特省的快速城市化的产物。本文件旨在评估与采掘活动投资有关的影响、利害关系和挑战，并探讨成本和风险如何在受影响社区内部和之间有差别地分配。
Mozambique has attracted international attention in recent years following the discovery of huge reserves of coal and gas deposits. A major focus of Mozambique’s extractives boom is the province of Tete, once a remote outpost but now a hub of power generation for the southern African region and an emerging centre of global investment in coal extraction. Some of the world’s largest mining firms from both established and emerging economies have descended on Tete, investing billions of dollars in developing concessions to extract some of the world’s largest untapped coal reserves with wide-ranging implications for the region’s political economy and effecting significant shifts in relations between state, capital and territorial control. At the urban scale, Tete city and its expanding periphery are increasingly characterised by enclaves and spaces of enclosure, as some groups benefit from and are integrated into global circuits of production whilst others suffer displacement and dispossession. In seeking to trace the emergence of Tete’s resource economy, the paper contends that three distinctive spatialities have resulted from these developments, including the infrastructure networks being constructed around the extractive industries, the enclave spaces arising from the coal boom (and the particular labour geographies that shape them) and the new and distinctive urban geographies that are the product of Tete’s rapid urbanisation. The paper seeks to assess the impacts, stakes and challenges linked to investments in extractive activities and looks at how the costs and risks are being differentially distributed within and between the affected communities.
