Peacemaking as Statebuilding: Colombia’s 2016 Agreement in a Comparative Perspective
ABSTRACT This article shows that Charles Tilly’s argument that war makes the state can be augmented by the notion that peace makes the state too. We develop a four-part analytical framework to analyse contemporary civil war peace agreements and identify the extent to which they include provisions specific to security, institutions, governance, and external actors.
South Sudan on the brink of civil war: bold action from the international community is needed

Since its formation in 2020, South Sudan’s unity government has not been steady. President Salva Kiir has reshuffled the cabinet, weakening the presence of the main opposition party, SPLM-IO. He’s previously fired two of the country’s five vice-presidents to promote his allies.

The agreement called for a commission on disappeared people and a commission on truth and reconciliation.

Analysis | South Sudan’s peace process faces a February deadline. Could last summer’s flooding actually help?
Next week, the signatories of South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement are due to form a unity government. Since the parties have twice delayed forming this government, there has been a flurry of attention on the Feb. 22 deadline from local, regional and other governments.

South Sudan: Building Trust Must Take Precedence in South Sudan Peace Process
analysis By Madhav Joshi and Susan D. Page South Sudan's parties have achieved some milestone agreements recently. This includes a 100-day extension for the formation of a transitional government of national unity, and a roadmap to peace.

South Sudan: stalemate over peace deal increases risks of war
Is it time for South Sudanese President Salva Kiir (right) and former vice-president Riek Machar to meet face to face? Philiop Dhil/EPA This is despite the fact that a peace agreement was signed less than year ago. The 2018 settlement revived a failed 2015 agreement between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar. The 2015 agreement collapsed in less than a year. Two more years of fighting left one-third of the pre-war population forcibly displaced and more than half food insecure.
Why South Sudan's peace process is stalled one year on
The prospect of peace in South Sudan has never been less certain. This is despite the fact that a peace agreement was signed less than year ago. The 2018 settlement revived a failed 2015 agreement between President Salva Kiir and opposition leader Riek Machar. The 2015 agreement collapsed in less than a year. Two more years of fighting left one-third of the pre-war population forcibly displaced and more than half food insecure. Now the most recent agreement is facing implementation challenges.
Analysis | What are the prospects for South Sudan’s new peace agreement? Here are the critical next steps.
It’s been a month since South Sudan’s Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was announced. What can research on other CPAs tell us about this one? On Sept. 12, South Sudan President Salva Kiir and vice president turned rebel leader Riek Machar signed the CPA to end a five-year civil war. The agreement received a tepid reception from diplomats, academics and policy analysts. Kiir and Machar signed a similar CPA in 2015, but fighting resumed within months.
Can Myanmar’s peace process learn from international experience?
The 21st Century Panglong Conference represents an important milestone in Myanmar's long march to peace. But it is only one step in a much longer process to end to the violence that has long limited this country's great potential. The pathway forward is outlined in a framework for political dialog that has been negotiated following 2015's Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement.
