CONFLICT AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION: THE CASE STUDY OF SOUTH SUDAN

Recognizing the intricacies of conflict, including its origins, dynamics, and potential solutions, is

essential for promoting harmony and peaceful living, particularly in African nations like South

Sudan. Such insights can be gathered through thorough research, which this proposal intends to

pursue. My objective is to delve deep into the realm of conflict and its resolution by studying its

various facets, from definition to its outcomes.

Conflict is multifaceted, leading to both constructive and adverse results, based on its

management and resolution strategies. Essentially, it emanates from differing viewpoints, leading

to disagreements or opposition among individuals, communities, or countries. Such discord often

sprouts in diverse environments, whether interpersonal, organizational, community-based, or

international, leading to potential hostilities and even violence.

Years of hands-on experience with at-risk communities have nurtured in me a profound empathy

and a fervent commitment to drive change. This has led me to aspire to study ‘conflict and

conflict resolution’ at the UnIversity of Cambridge. University of Cambridge, recognized globally

for its outstanding research performance, houses elite research institutions, providing invaluable

lessons for countries like South Sudan. This academic journey at the University of Cambridge

aims to equip me with a deeper understanding of the multifarious conflicts and their root causes.

South Sudan's tale is one of a budding nation scarred by warfare, an image that resonates deeply

with me. The paucity of resources and innovative technologies for development and peace efforts

exacerbate the community's challenges. Having personally witnessed the aftermath of conflict on

South Sudanese soil and as a refugee, I am fueled by a desire to bring change. The resulting

socio-economic issues and human rights concerns within these communities further emphasize

the need for intervention.


To fulfill this purpose, I aim to perform an exhaustive review of conflict theories, dissecting

dominant theoretical models that elucidate the nature of conflicts within the nation. This will

include a study of the varying conflict categories, from personal to international. Delving deeper,

the research will assess the root causes, pinpointing the catalysts for their initiation and factors

intensifying them. A comprehensive study will be conducted on the repercussions of these

conflicts on the society at large.

Another crucial component of my research will be understanding peaceful conflict resolution

tactics, drawing inspiration from nations like the United Kingdom. This will encompass an

analysis of varied conflict resolution methodologies, including but not limited to integrative,

distributive, and transformative approaches. Emulating successful strategies from countries like

United Kingdom, the study will evaluate the role and efficacy of methods like mediation,

negotiation, arbitration, and diplomacy. The ultimate goal is to curate strategies that can be

implemented for a more peaceful Africa, in particularly South Sudan.

In summary, this research endeavors to enhance the existing understanding of conflict and its

resolution. It will shed light on effective prevention and resolution strategies tailored for South

Sudan, emphasizing the significance of conflict management in fostering unity and peace among

its diverse tribal communities.
