Secession and South Sudan : an African precedent for the future ?

Auteur :
CHRISTOPHER, A.J.

Description :
The secession of South Sudan marks a significant milestone in the political evolution of the African continent. The new state has no separate colonial heritage, and hence no recognise boundary, and has been formed as a result of a struggle for independence waged against the government of an independent state. The implications for the debate over secessionism and the means for the achievement of internationally recognised independence are examined in the light of the South Sudanese experience. - (AJC)
