From the 1870s onwards British interest(s) in Sudan began to intensify, a consequence of the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 and the overseas expansion of British business activities associated with the Scramble for Africa and the renewal of imperial impulses in the second half of the nineteenth century. Mollan shows the gradual economic embrace of imperialism in the years before 1899; the impact of imperialism on the economic development of colonial Sudan to 1956; and then the post-colonial economic legacy of imperialism into the 1970s. This text highlights how state-centred economic activity was developed in cooperation with British international business. Founded on an economic model that was debt-driven, capital intensive, and cash-crop oriented?the colonial economy of Sudan was centred on cotton growing. This model locked Sudan into a particular developmental path that, in turn, contributed to the nature and timing of decolonization, and the consequent structures of dependency in the post-colonial era. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Economic History,$x2662-6500 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aAfrica$xEconomic conditions 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aBusiness 606 $aAfrica 606 $aEconomic development 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aAfrican Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aAfrican Business 606 $aEconomic Growth 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aAfrica$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aAfrica. 615 0$aEconomic development. 615 14$aEconomic History. 615 24$aAfrican Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aAfrican Business. 615 24$aEconomic Growth. 676 $a338.9624 676 $a330.9624 700 $aMollan$b Simon$f1977-$0865980 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910468252203321 996 $aImperialism and economic development in sub-Saharan Africa$92096615 997 $aUNINA
