Assuring the Future of South Sudan: Coherent Governance and Sustainable Livelihoods - Paperback

by Daniel W. Bromley (Author), Lual A. Deng (Contribution by), Santino Ayuel Longar (Contribution by)

On July 9, 2011 South Sudan achieved its independence as the newest nation among the global community. Unfortunately, South Sudan is not yet a state. It is not a state because its defective institutional foundations preclude coherent governance. Peace is impossible under defective institutions-the shared norms, conventions, and laws that structure the necessary web of individual and collective interactions. This book provides clarity about the required measures to create a coherent state-the essential pre-condition to sustainable livelihoods and lasting peace.
