Inhaltsangabe

Muzan Alneel's posthumous collected writings bring together a rare combination of development policy, political economy, and revolutionary clarity. Edited by Gussai Sheikheldin, this volume traces Alneel's central argument: that development is not a technocratic exercise, but a struggle over power, livelihoods, and dignity--and that industrial policy, if designed from the standpoint of ordinary people, can be a vehicle for democratic transformation. The book opens with an introduction on Alneel's life and intellectual legacy, situating her work within Sudan's December Revolution and the wider debates on late industrialization in the Global South. It then gathers key essays on people-centred industrial policy--from her evaluation of Sudan's post-2019 policy trajectory and its implications for sustainable development, to reflections on strategic governance, appropriate technology, and the challenges of industrialization in conditions of war. A second section turns to revolution and counterrevolution, examining the endurance of Sudan's uprising and the organizing power of Resistance Committees, alongside an interview on pathways for change. The final chapters expand outward to global solidarity, linking Sudan's struggle to Palestine and anti-imperialist development debates. The book closes with a curated set of tributes and obituaries, capturing the breadth of Alneel's impact and the urgency of her unfinished project.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Muzan was a public intellectual and a radical organizer from Sudan. By training she was an engineer and researcher, with an interdisciplinary practice spanning engineering, socioeconomics, management of technology, and public policy.

She was the founding member and Managing Director of ISTinaD Center-- standing for Innovation, Science, and Technology for people-centered Development. ISTinaD is a Sudan-based research institute established to produce evidence-based, actionable knowledge for the public and for policymakers. Muzan also served as a consultant on industrial policy in Sudan, during the last transitional period, with Sudan's Industrial Research and Consultancy Center, one of the country's parastatal research organizations.
