Description
Book SynopsisSudan''s Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 ended over two decades of civil war and led to South Sudan''s independence. Peacemaking that brought about the agreement and then sought to sustain it involved, alongside the Sudanese, an array of regional and western states as well as international organisations. This was a landmark effort to create and sustain peace in a war-torn region. Yet in the years that followed, multiple conflicts continued or reignited, both in Sudan and in South Sudan. Peacemaking attempts multiplied. Authored by both practitioners and scholars, this volume grapples with the question of which, and whose, ideas of peace and of peacemaking were pursued in the Sudans and how they fared. Bringing together economic, legal, anthropological and political science perspectives on over a decade of peacemaking attempts in the two countries, it provides insights for peacemaking efforts to come, in the Sudans and elsewhere.
Trade ReviewThe book is essential reading for dedicated scholars of the two countries and long-serving practitioners working in the area of peacemaking. * Jamie Pring, Sudan Studies *
