The literature on distributive politics indicates that many low-income countries are saddled with extractive institutions that not only contribute to politically biased fiscal outcomes, but tend to undermine long-run real growth. An analytical narrative based on the critical juncture and path dependence general equilibrium approach is utilized to highlight the effects of the political institutions on the fiscal policy outcomes in Sudan and indicate their mechanisms of perpetuation. The results suggest that Sudan has experience two critical junctures that featured, respectively, the path-dependence of public source of finance and budgeting based on cotton and its eventual destruction. The political patronage appears to be the major mechanism of reproduction of the 'path dependent' state development including the source of public revenue. But, the greater centralization of power and parsonage networks has resulted in problematic incorporation of the rural communities triggering a process of territorial fragmentation that escalated into open civil wars, contributed to the cumulative decline of the historic source of public finance and eventually led to the breakup of the state. The policy implications of these findings are outlined. JEL Classifications: E6, O2, H3

Most scholars, who have contributed to the Poverty-Conflict debate, took the position that poverty on its own cannot cause conflict, though a few others think otherwise. Focusing on Africa, this paper in contributing to this debate, briefly looks at the largeworks of scholars including their theoretical and empirical positions. It then considers some of the primary variables: economic, political, and ethnicity that can help in the explanation of poverty-conflict issue. Employing the human-needs perspective, the paper argues on politics that is the role of government and how its level of corruption influences the way in which poverty affects conflict that hinders development in Africa.
