It is intended to be descriptive, analytical and reflective. The study explores a number ofrelated issues that the author considers to be critical to a nuanced understanding of the potential impacts of disarmament on communities in the research area: the history ofNuer expansion; the history of firearms proliferation and use in the research area and their effects on an analysis ofNuer cultural transformation in response to colonization and competing governance structures; as well as the implications of disarmament for self-determination, state building and the 'rule of law'. The first chapter of the study is concerned with the presentation ofthe political and historical context for the inquiry. It covers the causes and effects of weapons proliferation within the context of Sudan's civil wars and weapons use amongst nomadic pastoralist communities in the Horn of Africa. It also provides an overview ofthe field research findings and contemporaneous disarmament activities. This chapter finishes with a discussion of some of the main themes affecting conflict in the research area and their reflection in the literature informing the research design and research questions. Chapter 2 describes the methodology for the field study component of the research and begins a deeper exploration of the literature. It then briefly touches on some ofthe assumptions and ethical issues associated with the research, before exploring the definitions and literature around the inter-related issues of 'small arms' and 'human security'. Chapter 3 begins the conflict analysis portion ofthe study, with an exploration of geographic, political, policy, cross-border, historical and identity aspects of the dynamics affecting disarmament and security decisions in the research area. It examines the sources of conflict, the effects of conflict and potential future scenarios. The chapter also touches on gendered aspects of evolving Nuer cultural norms surrounding violence. It provides an overview ofthe dynamics surrounding disarmament. A detailed stakeholder conflict analysis is attached as Appendix 5 (p. 132). The chapter finishes with an analysis Disarmament Opportunities and Hazards iv of the relationship between 'rule of law' concepts and programmes, state-building processes and disarmament. Chapter 4 provides an historical description and analysis ofthe pre-colonial period, colonial period, first and second civil wars as they affect and are affected by weapons proliferation and use in the research area. Chapter 5 contains the research findings from the formal field research component of the inquiry, with analysis ofthe two hypotheses ofthe study, relating to local opinions on disarmament opportunities and hazards and on the secondary hypothesis relating to trade and disarmament. This chapter also provides further detail on the forced disarmament which took place concurrently to the field research as well as a follow-up survey that describes some ofthe perverse impacts of disarmament on trade. Chapter 6 explores the role of the external actor in mediation and the evolving relation between the Nuer and foreign/outside governance systems. This chapter explores competing concepts of sovereignty, cultural change, violence and legitimacy from historical, anthropological and political philosophy perspectives. Chapter 7 provides a detailed account of post-research disarmament activities (aimed at reducing the violence surrounding ongoing disarmament campaigns by the GoSS) that were at least partly influenced by the field research and assesses the political and security impacts ofthese events on the community in light ofthe field research. Chapter 8 provides conclusions from the study. Disarmament Opportunities and Hazards ?

  • Trajectories of International Engagement with State and Local Actors: Evidence from South Sudan

    Researching livelihoods and services affected by conflict Trajectories of International Engagement with State and Local Actors: Evidence from South Sudan Working Paper 46 Daniel Maxwell, Rachel Gordon, Leben Moro, Martina Santschi and Philip Dau June 2016 About us Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium (SLRC) aims to generate a stronger evidence base on how people make a living, educate their children, deal with illness and access other basic services in conflict-affected situations (CAS). Providing better access to basic services, social protection and support to livelihoods matters for the human welfare of people affected by conflict, the achievement of development targets such as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and international efforts at peace- and state-building. At the centre of SLRC’s research are three core themes, developed over the course of an intensive one- year inception phase: § State legitimacy: experiences, perceptions and expectations of the state and local governance in conflict-affected situations § State capacity: building effective states that deliver services and social protection in conflict- affected situations § Livelihood trajectories and economic activity under conflict The Overseas Development Institute (ODI) is the lead organisation. SLRC partners include the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) in Sri Lanka, Feinstein International Center (FIC, Tufts University), the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU), the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) in Pakistan, Disaster Studies of Wageningen University (WUR) in the Netherlands, the Nepal Centre for Contemporary Research (NCCR), and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
