Beyond Khartoum

South Sudan's separation from the Sudan on 9 July 2011 abundantly illustrated the relevance of Randall Fegley's Beyond Khartoum. Focusing on subnational politics and the consequences of its continuous mismanagement, this monograph sets out to outline political developments in the former Sudan. The first four chapters appear to be based on Fegley's PhD research. With a case study of the Northern Region as its centrepiece, this part of the book focuses on government reforms in the period 1976–85. Chapters 5 and 7 outline changes in the Sudan's government structures during the second civil war (1983–2005) and the peace process in South Sudan (2002–10). Political changes within the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army also receive attention. A case study of NGO operations in the southern county of Kajo-Keji is the focus of Chapter 6. Short presentations of subnational politics in other African countries dominate the final, concluding chapter, as points of comparison.
