State Building in South Sudan

Clash of International and Domestic priorities

Illés ZoltánPécs, 15 June 2012.

South Sudan – newcomer in the Inernational Community

Independence – 9 July 2011 Domestic and Inernational Expectations Actors and goals

Unfinished business with Sudan Closing the taps

The external actors in the scramble for South Sudan

Security and development North – US, UK, Norway, EU and its member states South – China, India, Malaysia Regional players – Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya UN – UNMISS, UNDP, WFO, UNHCR NGOs Church and faith based organizations

Anatomy of a domestic strategy

SPLM/A to absorb the opposition Internal dynamics – armed insurgencies and ethnic

violence Stop oil export, cut from Sudan - “I reject the proposition that

the best way to peace with Sudan is through dependence on Sudan. No nation can prosper by surrendering control of its economy to another.”

From loans to new pipeline The border areas –Abyei and the disputed territories Independence?

Analysis of a foreign policy

The „good guy” Internatonal Community is losing patience? AUHIP talks failed? Occupation of Heglig/Panthou Talks continue

„Too many agreements dishonoured.”

How to build South Sudan?

International Community: assistance or greed?

SPLM: survive and grow

Avoid African state building traps

Future?

Thank you for your attention!
