The paper reviews theeconomic and development content of the various protocols signed by theGovernment of Sudan and the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement over the period20 July 2002 to 26 May 2004. It is proposed that these agreements should beunderstood in the context of the modern economic theory of civil wars. Underthis theory economic factors are held to be the most important explanatoryvariables for the occurance of civil wars; however, resolution of suchconflicts have to address the grievances expressed in the political discourseof armed movements. The paper argues that the most important economic anddevelopment challenges in post-conflict Sudan include increasing theinvestment rate; management of the expected surge in government expenditure;the role of the central bank in the context of a dual monetary system; and ,establishing social safety nets.
