    K M BarbourARTICLEGeographical Journal1982Cited by: 2References: 19

    The study of African geography is seen as occupying an important position in the development of the discipline since the founding of the African Association at the end of the eighteenth century and its subsequent absorption into the Royal Geographical Society. After the period of exploration and the partition of the continent between the European powers, Africa was studied and described by European officials from a variety of backgrounds, and sev…

  • The Sudan Since Independence

    Open AccessK M BarbourARTICLEThe Journal of Modern African…1980Cited by: 1References: 1

    In the three decades that have elapsed since the end of World War II, the overseas empires created by the European powers have almost all come to an end, and a wide range of new states, large and small, has taken their place. Now, when many of these nations are approaching the 25th anniversaries of their independence, it is a fitting moment to ask how well they are doing, not in any spirit of paternalistic chauvinism, but rather in order to see h…

  • Rural Road Lengths and Farm-Market Distances in North-East Ulster

    K M BarbourARTICLEGeografiska Annaler Series B…1977Cited by: 1References: 4

    The landscape of north-east Ulster comprises a number of fairly evenly spaced market towns and a remarkably dense net-work of roads which radiate like spokes from the towns in all directions, being linked by tie roads at regular intervals. From these ‘spokes’ and ‘ties’ narrow farm lanes unite individual farmsteads to the national road network.The paper aims to investigate the efficiency of the resultant road system, given the inter-market distan…

These guides or directories were not intended to be published in a formal sense, and their names have never appeared on the official lists of government publications that may be purchased in Egypt. Nevertheless, though …

  • Industrialisation in West Africa-the Need for Sub-Regional Groupings within an Integrated Economic Community

    Open AccessK M BarbourARTICLEThe Journal of Modern African…1972Cited by: 1

    In the years that have elapsed since the ending of colonial rule, the newly independent states of Africa have been understandably preoccupied with a general resolve to achieve rapid and sustained economic growth. Certain countries have attached especial importance to investment in agriculture, others have devoted high proportions of their resources to material infrastructure, to the exploitation of minerals, or to education and training; whatever…

    Open AccessK M BarbourARTICLEThe Journal of Modern African…1971Cited by: 1

    In the summer of 1967, when Nigeria's first federal constitution had been virtually shattered by two bloody military coups, and when it looked very likely that the Eastern Region might try to secede from the Federation, a military decree was promulgated dissolving the four former Regions, and replacing them by a new structure of 12 States (see Map I). In the following pages the largest of these will be considered, namely the North-Eastern State, …

    K M BarbourARTICLEMiddle Eastern Studies1966Cited by: 8References: 1

    The great change that has taken place in the political status of much of the African continent during the third quarter of the twentieth century has for the most part involved the conversion of a number of somewhat oddly constituted former colonies to independent states. These, whatever their internal degree of coherence or contradiction, have shown a remarkable reluctance to surrender territories, however valueless, or sovereignty, however ineff…
