Crossing Borders: Sudan in Regional Contexts 22st annual meeting of Sudan Studies Association 3rd international meeting of SSA, SSUK and IAAS July 31st - August 2nd, 2003 to be held at Georgetown University Washington, DC
The fact that Sudan shares borders with nine countries (Chad, Libya, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Zaire and Central African Republic) has allowed for the movement of people across the borders, and it has influenced cross-border cultural and political interaction. The nature of such relationships influences both the border zones and the country at large, particularly when wars and crises over natural resources occur along political boundaries. In addition, relationships between Sudan and its neighbors are not merely limited to border areas, but such influences could transcend borders such as in political, social, and economic trends.
The Sudan Studies Association (SSA) seeks proposals that address various issues related to the relationships between Sudan and it's immediate neighbors, pertaining, for example, to issues in history, politics, culture, belief systems, literature, and relevant fields. SSA welcomes proposals not only from Sudan specialists, but from experts on neighboring countries as well.
