This paper examines the role of external actors in Sudan's war economy, in particular from 1997 to 2003. The author notes that since the signing of the 1997 Khartoum Peace Agreement, the war in Sudan has intensified, bringing with it an increase in large-scale displacements and an unprecedented military build-up by the Sudanese government. Foreign investment and trade have directly funded the hostilities of the warring parties, as well as indigenous arms production. The author goes on to examine how such policies either prolong or curb the conflict in Sudan.
