State institutions and hybrid governance beyond the 'failed' state: a comparative study of custom institutions along the borders of South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

By studying specific state institutions, this research project aims at contributing to the theoretical debates on the nature of the state in Africa. It therefore discusses the following issues which are part of this commission: government/political systems; political sciences; public policy/administrations; political sociology.
