Mark A W Deng is McKenzie Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne, Australia.

This book offers the first in-depth analysis of the emerging constitutionalism in South Sudan and the challenges it faces.

It critically analyses the constitution-making processes that occurred in South Sudan between 2005 and 2011, finding that there was a failure of constitutional discourse. It goes on to analyse how the constitution is being implemented. 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.
