Traces the dynamics of state-building in Juba, Southern Sudan
2005-2011, revealing how underlying ties of ethnicity and land
dominated the actions of the various parties in post-conflict
reconstruction and how these may continue to influence power and
resource-sharing in the newly independent state of South Sudan.
Naseem Badiey examines the local dynamics of the emerging capital
city of Juba, Southern Sudan, during the historically pivotal
transition period following the 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement
(CPA). Focusing on the intersections of land tenure reform and
urban development, she challenges the dominant paradigm of
'post-conflict reconstruction' and re-conceptualizes state-building
as a social process underpinned by negotiation. Badiey explores
local resistance to reconstruction programmes, debates over the
interpretation of peace settlements, and competing claims to land
and resources not as problems to be solved through interventions
but as negotiations of authority which are fundamental to shaping
the character of the 'state'. While donors and aid agency officials
anticipated clashes between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan
People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) following the CPA, they did not
foresee internal divisions that impeded reconstruction in Southern
Sudan, raising serious questions about the viability of an
independent state. In Juba local elites interpreted the CPA in line
with their economic and political interests, using claims to land,
authority and political power to challenge the SPLM's agenda for
urban reconstruction. In revealing how local actors strategically
interpreted the framework of land rights in Southern Sudan, the
book offers a basis for understanding the challenges that confront
the nascent South Sudan's state-builders and their international
partners in the future. NASEEM BADIEY is Assistant Professor of
International Development andHumanitarian Action at California
State University Monterey Bay.
