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

Lying at the centre of a tumultuous region, the Central African
Republic and its turbulent history have often been overlooked.
Democracy, in any kind of a meaningful sense, has eluded the
country. Since the mid-1990s, army mutinies and serial rebellion in
CAR have resulted in two major successful coups. Over the course of
these upheavals, the country has become a laboratory for
peacebuilding initiatives, hosting a two-decade-long succession of
UN and regional peacekeeping, peacebuilding and special political
missions. Drawing together the foremost experts on the Central
African Republic, this much-needed volume provides the first
in-depth analysis of the country's recent history of rebellion,
instability, and international and regional intervention.
