Abstract

This research purpose in an effort to understand how inclusive governance could address the on going socio political conflict in South Sudan, this paper draws parallels from the Aceh peace process in Indonesia. Utilizing document review as the research method, the study analyzes peace agreements, government reports, and academic literature to identify key governance strategies that contributed to the stability and reconciliation in Aceh. Framed within the theoretical framework of inclusive governance, the paper highlights the role of power-sharing, local autonomy, and the participation of diverse stakeholders. This study contributes to the literature by offering a contextualized application of inclusive governance to South Sudan’s complex political landscape, providing recommendations for sustainable peace building efforts.

Abstract

The postcolonial African state has frequently been conceptualised as an artificial construction. Ethnic inequality remains a critical yet underexplored structural determinant of governance failure in multi-ethnic states. This study explores how ethnic inequality contributes to governance crises in ethnically diverse states, focusing on Nigeria and South Sudan. This study was guided by the research question of whether ethnic inequality contributes to governance crises in Nigeria and South Sudan, and what lessons can be drawn for fragile states globally. It employs a qualitative comparative analysis to identify institutionalized and informal ethnic exclusion, revealing that Nigeria’s formal mechanisms for ethnic inclusion are undermined by elite capture and clientelism, leading to governance dysfunction. In contrast, South Sudan’s governance is dominated by informal ethnic militarism, resulting in state collapse. This study contributes new empirical and theoretical insights by linking ethnic inequality directly to the governance breakdown in fragile African states, offering lessons applicable to other divided societies.
