Abstract

This chapter brings together the different strands of analysis developed in the preceding chapters and explores how the various themes developed in the book—the role of business and the state in the economy, especially—were affected by the Second World War and then by decolonization. The first section of the chapter examines economic performance covering the period from 1939 until after decolonization, which formally occurred in 1956. The second section of the chapter traces the history of the end of the Sudan Plantations Syndicate’s concession to run cotton-growing in the Gezira Scheme. This foregrounds the third section of the chapter, which looks at the end of the Sudan Plantations Syndicate as an active business. The fourth section then examines the economic performance in the immediate post-colonial period from 1956 to circa the early 1970s. The final section of the chapter looks at the ways in which Sudan became indebted in the post-colonial period, focusing on the role of the World Bank.
