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.","brand":"Hart Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45083490287767,"sku":"9781509981274","price":11432.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781509981274.webp?v=1768545425","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/emerging-constitutionalism-in-south-sudan-challenges-and-opportunities-9781509981274","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
