The Long, ‘Last Step’? Reintegration of Repatriates in Eritrea
The reintegration of repatriates in Eritrea is a relevant and pressing issue. This study explores four dimensions of refugee reintegration based on primary data gathered from 80 households that repatriated back to eastern Eritrea from Sudan. The aim is to assess their reception by the host population and the nature of resource competition prompted by their arrival. The analysis also focuses on changes in livelihood and material wellbeing among re…
"Energizing" Rural Space: The Representation of Countryside Culture as an Economic Development Strategy
The last three decades have witnessed substantial changes in the role of rural spaces amid the restructuring of advanced capitalist economies and in the way that they are approached as a focus of inquiry. The significance of the "rural" is shifting from a production orientation (e.g., agriculture) to a consumption–oriented role (i.e., the symbolic value of a rural identity by which to market a particular place to inhabitants, investors, visitors,…
Revisiting the Rural Revolution in East Carolina
Losing place: Refugee populations and rural transformations in East Africa
"Refugee flight, settlement, and repatriation are not static, self-contained, or singular events. Instead, they are three stages of an ongoing process made and mirrored in the lives of real people. For that reason, there is an evident need for historical and longitudinal studies of refugee populations that rise above description and trace the process of social transformation during the "full circle" of flight, resettlement, and the return home. T…

The State of the World's Refugees 1995-In Search of Solutions
Strategic Behavior in Refugee Repatriation: A Game-Theoretic Analysis
The authors present a game-theoretic analysis of negotiations involving two players: the government of a country of origin and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), in which the latter represents refugees, countries of asylum, and donor countries at the negotiating table. Ordinal preference orderings of outcomes allow the authors to represent the attitudes of governments in countries of origin toward their refugees as well as…
Pastoralism in Africa: Origins and Development Ecology
The Peasant Economy of Refugee Resettlement in Eastern Sudan
This study seeks to contribute to the growing literature on migration in developing countries by placing refugee resettlement into the larger context of social transformation in agrarian societies. Eastern Sudan has experienced a massive influx of refugees during the last twenty-five years as a consequence of the longest war in postcolonial Africa. This case study examines the process of resettlement by conceptualizing the mechanisms of accumulat…
Food, Wages, and Profits: Mechanized Schemes and the Sudanese State
This paper examines the pivotal role of the state in the politics of agriculture being played out on the landscape in Sudan. It is argued that geographic research must come to terms with the operation of the state in order to conceptualize clearly the allocation of rural resources and the transformation of agrarian economies. An in-depth case study demonstrates how the state has intervened on the behalf of those who operate mechanized agricultura…
Border Pastoralism in Eastern Sudan
The eastern region of Sudan has attracted large numbers of pastoralists who are refugees from the ongoing civil war in Eritrea. One consequence of their resettlement is intensified conflict over land rights along the Ethiopian border. Data, based on fieldwork in 1987 and 1988, indicate that herds are being depleted and that pastoralism is threatened as a way of life. THE Sahelian belt of Sudan, which stretches across the entire central portion of…
