The politics of constitution-making: An analysis of political parties and groups in post-conflict South Sudan
Abstract
This chapter critically examines the role of political parties and groups in constitution-making processes. It analyses how political parties and groups contribute to the success or failure of such processes. The chapter argues that political parties and groups in South Sudan should be actively involved in and committed to the constitutional reform process if it is to be successful. To this end, they should focus on building a shared vision of the country’s political and socio-economic political future and promoting a democratic ethos that fosters constitutionalism, political stability, and peace in the country.
