自从苏丹签署《全面和平协议》(CPA)以来，苏丹与乌干达的边界已成为活动中心。在对比乌干达和南苏丹边境一侧的事态发展时，这篇论文利用实证田野调查的方法，认为《全面和平协议》在两国的边缘创造了新的权力中心。然而，在边界两边的日常交易中，南苏丹军事参与者已经占据主导地位。在阿鲁阿和南苏丹-乌干达边界的特殊情况下，过去的战时权力结构决定了在一个受到严格监管、没有结果的和平中获得机会的机会。这意味着，乌干达的小规模贸易商--尽管对南苏丹至关重要--变得更容易受到南苏丹对国家权威的断言的影响。乌干达贸易商的经历使跨越边界的贸易总是有利于建设和平的广泛共识受到质疑。文件的结论是，贸易不是无条件地有助于为所有人建立一个和平的环境。
Since Sudan's Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed, its border with Uganda has become a hub of activity. Contrasting developments on the Ugandan side of the border with those on the South Sudanese side, the paper draws on empirical fieldwork to argue that the CPA has created new centres of power in the margins of both states. However, in day-today dealings on either side of the border, South Sudanese military actors have become dominant. In the particular case of Arua and the South Sudan-Uganda border, past wartime authority structures determine access to opportunities in a tightly regulated, inconclusive peace. This means that small-scale Ugandan traders – although vital to South Sudan – have become more vulnerable to South Sudan's assertions of state authority. The experience of Ugandan traders calls into question the broad consensus that trade across the border is always beneficial for peace-building The paper concludes that trade is not unconditionally helpful to the establishment of a peaceful environment for everyone.
