{"product_id":"global-security-watchza-sudan-richard-lobban-9780313353321","title":"Global Security Watchâ \"Sudan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides an overview of contemporary issues in Sudan, Africa's largest nation, examining the country's history and current scene to help readers develop a deeper understanding of how much Sudan matters in today's world. With deep connections to the Sahel and savanna to the west, the African world to the south, the Horn of Africa to the east, and the Middle East to the north, Sudan is important strategically, legally, geopolitically, and militarily--but too often overlooked, or underestimated. Sudan, the country of residence of Osama bin Laden for six years, has played, and will continue to play, a significant role in worldwide security matters. An analysis of the causes, resolutions, and implications of the ongoing Sudanese conflicts (including the genocide in Darfur), this book is essential reading for policymakers, researchers, and students alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book considers Sudan's historical foundations, examining how the agendas of countries to the south, east, and north have influenced Sudan's people and government. The author also explains the origins and context of the Darfur conflict, laying out possible steps toward a resolution. Questions concerning Sudanese oil--where is it? how much is there? to whom does it belong?--help focus any discussion of Sudan's emerging importance in the contemporary world. Other issues--such as the influence of Islamism or the Sudanese activities of the Arab League, China, or the African Union--underline the uncertainties that confront the people of Sudan today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Lobban\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0313353328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780313353321\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2010 pg. 57","brand":"Richard Lobban","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47637134573823,"sku":"9780313353321","price":61.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15958b5f-c3f5-41a3-bace-f59b17a46e13.jpg?v=1765114137","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-security-watchza-sudan-richard-lobban-9780313353321","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
