Managing the Challenges of Conflict Transformation and Peace-Building in South Sudan

with

Lukong Stella SHULIKA

Monday, 4 February, 1:00- 2:00 pm
The Senate Room, 608 Robertson Hall, Carleton University*

This presentation comes from her recent master’s research thesis, which assesses the post-conflict and post-independence challenges impeding on South Sudan’s constructive political and socio-economic development efforts to build a sovereign peaceful and stable nation-state. The research is based on historical and qualitative research methods, which locate the study within a framework that provides the basis for identifying and evaluating South Sudan’s complexities as transformational and peace-building challenges. It further creates an avenue to proffer recommendations on how the challenges can be managed – thus the study’s primary adoption and application of John Paul Lederach’s Pyramid Model of Conflict Transformation as the recommended framework.

Lukong Stella SHULIKA is a master’s research student of Conflict Transformation and Peace Studies at the School of Social Sciences, University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. She is also a commonwealth exchange scholar at the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs (NPSIA), Carleton University.
