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.

Interest in China and Africa is growing exponentially. Taking a
step back from the 'events-driven' reactions characterizing much
coverage, this timely book reflects more deeply on questions
concerning how this subject has been, is being and can be studied.
It offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary and authoritative
contribution to Africa-China studies. Its diverse chapters explore
key current research themes and debates, such as agency, media,
race, ivory, development or security, using a variety of case
studies from Benin, Kenya and Tanzania, to Angola, Mozambique and
Mauritius. Looking back, it explores the evolution of studies about
Africa and China. Looking forward, it explores alternative, future
possibilities for a complex and constantly evolving subject.
Showcasing a range of perspectives by leading and emerging
scholars, New Directions in Africa-China Studies is an essential
resource for students and scholars of Africa and China relations.
