For the people, decentralisation is understood as a right to self-rule based on native?stranger dichotomies and as a means of appropriating and incorporating an abstract and distant state into the local context. The South Sudanese government, in contrast, sees decentralisation primarily as a tool for service delivery and development. Conversely, the international community, in its desire to guarantee international stability through the creation of Western-style states all over the world, sees decentralisation as one tool in the state-building toolbox. These different interpretations of decentralization may not only lead to misunderstandings, but different groups and different ways of understanding decentralisation have interacted throughout history, and attempts to impose a particular understanding on other actors continue. Annina Aeberli examines this hybridisation of state ?decentralisation? and argues that the international community and the government cannot and should not try to ignore people?s understandings and expectations: a state ? in whatever form ? always depends on the acceptance of the people. 606 $aGovernment - Non-U.S$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aGovernment - Asia$2HILCC 610 $adecentralisation 610 $adevelopment policies and practices 610 $aeconomic development 610 $astate construction 615 7$aGovernment - Non-U.S. 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aGovernment - Asia 700 $aAeberli$b Annina$0891379 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910137466603321 996 $aDecentralisation hybridized : a Western concept on its way through South Sudan$91990991 997 $aUNINA
