Abstract

With a historical approach, Sonja Theron seeks to explain why "South Sudan has not known peace since 1955" (p. 15). Crucially, Theron points to the peace agreements that the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) mediated between 2002 and 2018, and their failure to address the root causes of the conflict. I Leadership, nation-building and war in South Sudan i explores the historical contradictions in the foundation of the South Sudanese state as well as the country's future prospects.
