South Sudan is one of the world’s most divided and unstable countries. Since achieving statehood in 2011, the country has plunged into civil war (2013-15) and become the scene of some of the worst human rights abuses on the African continent. Despite ongoing political turmoil, states and international institutions have pledged enormous resources to stabilize the country and shore up the current peace process, but have had limited influence in dealing with the effects of rampant corruption and factionalism. The Challenge of Governance in South Sudan examines the factors that continue to haunt peace-building efforts, including the domination of the SPLM/A, factionalization, corruption, human rights atrocities, an ineffective constitution, and the role of international actors. It brings together a diverse set of leading scholars to reflect on these factors and propose ways of promoting peace and stability in South Sudan.
In particular, the book asks whether the disparity between domestic priorities/policies and foreign intervention strategies has prevented the peace process from moving forward. The contributors probe this issue by addressing the flaws of past peace agreements, poor governance, a weakly articulated peacekeeping mission, US foreign policy, and a lack of moral accountability. This book is perfect for students, scholars and policy makers with an interest in the challenges faced by the world’s newest country.

Challenging conventional assumptions, the book proposes bilateral and multilateral coordination solutions to foster trust and to encourage engagement with the political landscape surrounding the GERD. Exploring domestic politics and the conflicting dynamics between cooperation and competition, the contributing authors explain the incentives that make short-term collaboration difficult to achieve. It frames its analysis of policy coordination as a pragmatic alternative for short-term water diplomacy in the region.
Students, researchers and academics in international relations and political science, African politics, development studies, water governance and environmental studies will find this book an accessible and invaluable resource. Policymakers will also find this a beneficial reference for international Sustainable Development Goals policies.
