Sudan Looks East : China, India and the Politics of Asian Alternatives, Paperback / softback Book

Sudan Looks East : China, India and the Politics of Asian Alternatives Paperback / softback

Edited by Daniel Large, Luke A. Patey

Part of the African Issues series

Paperback / softback

Description

Places Sudan's oil industry (examined here in macro, micro and political terms), its economy, external relations and changing politics under the impact of the Darfur conflict and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, in the wider context of the expansion of Asia's global economic strength. By successfully turning to China, Malaysia and India from the mid-1990s, amidst civil war and political isolation, Khartoum's 'Look East' policy transformed Sudan's economy and foreign relations.

Sudan, in turn, has been a key theatre of Chinese, Indian and Malaysian overseas energy investment.

What began as economic engagements born of pragmatic necessity later became politicized within Sudan and without, resulting in global attention. Despite its importance, widespread sustained interest and continuing political controversy, there is no single volume publication examining the rise and nature of Chinese, Malaysian and Indian interests in Sudan, their economic and political consequences, and role in Sudan's foreign relations.

Addressing this gap, this book provides a groundbreaking analysis of Sudan's 'Look East' policy.

It offers the first substantive treatment of a subject of fundamental significancewithin Sudan that, additionally, has become a globally prominent dimension of its changing international politics. Daniel Large is research director of the Africa Asia Centre, Royal African Society at the School of Oriental and African Studies, London, and founding director of the Rift Valley Institute's digital Sudan Open Archive. Luke A. Patey is a Research Fellow at the Danish Institute for International Studies.
