Abstract
Purpose – Sudanese supply chains were greatly affected by the US sanctions from 1997 and until today. This research aims to understand the effects of US sanctions on the Sudanese practices of sourcing, procurement, and transportation. Additionally, the research aims to discover the way through which the US sanctions were avoided by the studied Sudanese practices. Finally, the research tests a hypothesis on the relationship between Sudanese procurement’s contribution to the black-market currency demand and supply.
Approach – The research follows a qualitative case study method where primary data is collected using a semi-structured interview method. Additionally, the research uses multiple sources for secondary data for the lack of... (More)
Purpose – Sudanese supply chains were greatly affected by the US sanctions from 1997 and until today. This research aims to understand the effects of US sanctions on the Sudanese practices of sourcing, procurement, and transportation. Additionally, the research aims to discover the way through which the US sanctions were avoided by the studied Sudanese practices. Finally, the research tests a hypothesis on the relationship between Sudanese procurement’s contribution to the black-market currency demand and supply.
Approach – The research follows a qualitative case study method where primary data is collected using a semi-structured interview method. Additionally, the research uses multiple sources for secondary data for the lack of relevant research on the topic.
Findings – The Sudanese practices of sourcing, procurement, and transportation have been heavily affected by Executive Order 13067’s section 2, pressuring the Sudanese supply chain -and the studied practices- to introduce a proxy point to secure the flows of product and services subject to US sanction to into Sudan. Additionally, the research finds no connection between the Sudanese procurement practice and the black-market currency market.
Contribution – This research is novel for two reasons; firstly, it introduces world-systems analysis to global supply chain discourse; secondly, the research creates a theory of Sudanese sourcing, procurement, and transportation under US sanctions.
Keywords - Global Supply Chains; World-systems; US sanctions; Black-market currency; Sudan (Less)
