It finds that, despite the clear division of powers and functions between the national government and the sub-national governments, what has emerged in South Sudan in the post-constitution-making period is a form of coercive centralism where the national government controls much of the political decision-making process. This has had serious implications for democracy, constitutionalism, and the rule of law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, bearing in mind the failure in both how the transitional constitution was made and how it is being implemented, the book undertakes a critical analysis of the proposed process for drafting a new constitution for South Sudan. It identifies serious shortcomings and proposes how these could be addressed to enhance the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Deng\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509981276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509981274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Mark Deng","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424413237503,"sku":"9781509981274","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a728b7c4-c57d-4a01-ab81-bb9cd03db11b.jpg?v=1761530062","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emerging-constitutionalism-in-south-sudan-mark-deng-9781509981274","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
