 Asian Countries and Sudan: Political and Economic Relation

 

 
Sudan is now emerging from the shadow and developing into a vibrant economy and society. Though it gained independence nearly fifty year ago it has only recently begun negotiations for WTO membership in real earnest. The long internal civil strife and the difficulties of state formation and nation building are some of the constraints to development and growth. However after the discovery of oil these social conflicts have got complicated and accentuated.
The ties with of Sudan with Asian countries though a long-standing friendship were primarily limited to formal and routine issues. However along with the emergence of Sudan and growth of its oil industry there is a parallel strengthening of ties with different Asian countries such as China, India and Malaysia under the banner of south-south cooperation. These ties are expanding fast especially in the different sectors of the economy and are being broad based. Is the current global economic crisis makes such emerging south-south partnerships portent of new world architecture? On the other hand, are such ties just combinations of different factors playing out at the same time without significant ramifications in the future? There is however very little academic scrutiny and study of this phenomenon. Whatever work is being done is primarily in understanding the bilateral relationships between Asian countries and Sudan. There is, thus, a need to try to understand the emerging relationship between Sudan and Asian Countries in the broader and larger political and economic context.
