Darfurs Political Economy

Darfur is a vast region characterized by limited and unexplored natural resources, poor infrastructure, and lack of major development projects. Identifying its economic and human development needs brings us closer to finding ways to alleviate its human suffering and environmental stress.

This book presents a broad spectrum of analytical perspectives from pro-minent academics, professionals and practitioners from Darfur itself. The various articles constituting the book all adhere to the principles of scientific inquiry with intellectual rigour and objectivity, thus forming a collective thesis on the political economy of Darfur.

The first section of the book presents Darfur as a political entity, including its systems of land tenure and administration. The second section describes the water resources, agricultural production and environmental conditions of Darfur as a region. The third discusses the cost of war, health issues and the struggle of women in the war torn region. Finally, section four discusses energy and transportation infrastructure in Darfur.

While there are many existing books that discuss the current humanitarian and political crisis in Darfur, this volume represents one of the first to explore the causes behind the crisis. This title is a valuable resource for academics, students, researchers and policymakers with an interest in Darfur and in the wider fields of political economy and conflict studies.

Hamid Eltgani Ali is Associate Professor and Department Chair at the American University in Cairo School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, Egypt. He formerly taught at Southern Methodist University and Texas State University, USA. He was an auditor for the US Government Accountability Office.

Europa Country Perspectives

The new Europa Country Perspectives series, from Routledge, examines a wide range of contemporary political, economic, developmental, and social issues from areas around the world. Complementing the Europa Regional Surveys of the World series, Europa Country Perspectives will be a valuable resource for academics, students, researchers, policy-makers, business people, and anyone with an interest in current world affairs.

While the Europa World Year Book and its associated Regional Surveys inform on and analyse contemporary economic, political, and social developments at the national and regional level, Country Perspectives provide in-depth, country-specific volumes written or edited by specialists in their field, delving into a countrys particular situation. Volumes in the series are not constrained by any particular template, but may explore a countrys recent political, economic, international relations, social, defence or other issues in order to increase understanding.
