1. State Building in South Sudan Clash of International and Domestic priorities Illés Zoltán Pécs, 15 June 2012.

2.  South Sudan – newcomer in the Inernational Community  Independence – 9 July 2011  Domestic and Inernational Expectations  Actors and goals  Unfinished business with Sudan  Closing the taps

3.  The external actors in the scramble for South Sudan  Security and development  North – US, UK, Norway, EU and its member states  South – China, India, Malaysia  Regional players – Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya  UN – UNMISS, UNDP, WFO, UNHCR  NGOs  Church and faith based organizations

4.  Anatomy of a domestic strategy  SPLM/A to absorb the opposition  Internal dynamics – armed insurgencies and ethnic violence  Stop oil export, cut from Sudan - “I reject the proposition that the best way to peace with Sudan is through dependence on Sudan. No nation can prosper by surrendering control of its economy to another.”  From loans to new pipeline  The border areas –Abyei and the disputed territories  Independence?

6.  Analysis of a foreign policy  The „good guy”  Internatonal Community is losing patience?  AUHIP talks failed?  Occupation of Heglig/Panthou  Talks continue  „Too many agreements dishonoured.”

7.  How to build South Sudan?  International Community: assistance or greed?  SPLM: survive and grow  Avoid African state building traps  Future?
