Using more than a decade's worth of fieldwork in South Sudan, Clémence Pinaud here explores the relationship between predatory wealth accumulation, state formation, and a form of racism—extreme ethnic group entitlement—that has the potential to result in genocide. War and Genocide in South Sudan traces the rise of a predatory state during civil war in southern Sudan and its transformation into a violent Dinka ethnocracy after the region's formal independence. That new state, Pinaud argues, waged genocide against non-Dinka civilians in 2013-2017. During a civil war that wrecked the region between 1983 and 2005, the predominantly Dinka Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) practiced ethnically exclusive and predatory wealth accumulation. Its actions fostered extreme group entitlement and profoundly shaped the rebel state. Ethnic group entitlement eventually grew into an ideology of ethnic supremacy. After that war ended, the semi-autonomous state turned into a violent and predatory ethnocracy—a process accelerated by independence in 2011. The rise of exclusionary nationalism, a new security landscape, and inter-ethnic political competition contributed to the start of a new round of civil war in 2013, in which the recently founded state unleashed violence against nearly all non-Dinka ethnic groups. Pinaud investigates three campaigns waged by the South Sudan government in 2013–2017 and concludes they were genocidal—they sought to destroy non-Dinka target groups. She demonstrates how the perpetrators' sense of group entitlement culminated in land-grabs that amounted to a genocidal conquest echoing the imperialist origins of modern genocides.

Der Autor bietet auf Grundlage einer vergleichenden empirischen Untersuchung Einsichten in den Zusammenhang von Krieg, Staatlichkeit und friedlicher Konfliktregelung während des zweiten Bürgerkrieges und nach der Unabhängigkeit des Südsudan 2011. Als Einflussfaktoren werden politische und ethnische Konfliktmuster, der autoritäre Charakter der ehemaligen Rebellenbewegungen SPLM, die Rolle der Kirchen und traditionellen Führer in lokalen Friedensprozessen, sowie das Engagement internationaler Hilfsorganisationen identifiziert. Entgegen der gewöhnlichen Annahme, dass Bürgerkriege stets Staatszerfall zur Folge haben, wird empirisch belegt, dass ein Prozess der Staatswerdung bereits lange vor dem Friedensschluss begonnen hatte.Der Blick auf Südsudan nach dem Friedensschluss 2005 und der Unabhängigkeit zeigt, dass weiterhin starke politische und ethnische Konflikte sowie anhaltende Gewalt das Land nicht zur Ruhe kommen lassen. Ein relevantes und aufschlussreiches Buch für Sozialwissenschaftler ebenso wie Praktiker der Entwicklungszusammenarbeit.In englischer Sprache

"This book analyses the main events and turning points in the building of pre- and post-independent South Sudan. It covers the historical perspectives of the country, its political, mediation and negotiation issues, peace and security, socio-economic development, and gender, as well as conflict and reconstruction. Many African states are products of compromised peace settlement and power sharing agreements, following violent and protracted conflicts between colonial/occupying powers, armed groups and nation states. This is the same route that Africa's youngest nation, South Sudan traversed before attaining independence in July 2011. This edited volume is an innovative collection that serves as a complete reading on South Sudan, from the pre-independent to post-independent realities of the political, military and inter-ethnic conflicts and the negotiations to resolve them. It is a step-by-step account of the major events that mark the history as well as the contemporary occurrences in South Sudan. Although the conflict in South Sudan is still ongoing as this book is published, the lessons extracted offer guidance on how to sustainably end armed conflict in Africa by focusing on the history of the conflict, political issues, peace and security, gender, justice and contemporary dynamics. The book presents a gendered approach to arguments, while also reflecting gender equity in terms of the book authorship. Students and scholars within political science, African politics, international relations and security studies will find this book useful. This book will also be of interest to policy makers and research institutions engaged in peacebuilding in Africa"--
