South Sudan is undergoing a process of internationally-supported state
building of which decentralisation forms part. For the people,
decentralisation is understood as a right to self-rule based on
native–stranger dichotomies and as a means of appropriating and incorporating
an abstract and distant state into the local context. The South Sudanese
government, in contrast, sees decentralisation primarily as a tool for service
delivery and development. Conversely, the international community, in its
desire to guarantee international stability through the creation of Western-
style states all over the world, sees decentralisation as one tool in the
state-building toolbox. These different interpretations of decentralization
may not only lead to misunderstandings, but different groups and different
ways of understanding decentralisation have interacted throughout history, and
attempts to impose a particular understanding on other actors continue. Annina
Aeberli examines this hybridisation of state ‘decentralisation’ and argues
that the international community and the government cannot and should not try
to ignore people’s understandings and expectations: a state – in whatever form
– always depends on the acceptance of the people.
