Abstrakt: International theories that address civil-military relations have increasingly been the subject of new approaches. The scenario where these are developed gains specific nuances and priority in the discussion about the effectiveness of joint work and the limits of each of these groups. This article discusses how the civil-military relation has been built in the UNMISS context. Based on the theoretical construction of civil-military relations, more specifically, those applied to the context of peace operations and their practice, the effectiveness of the relationship between the military components and the civilian components in all their multiplicity is discussed. We challenge the efficiency of the integrated response that is sought through the deepening of civil-military relations. The central question addressed, specifically, seeks to understand the main problems in the synergy between civilians and military in South Sudan and what can be done to mitigate this situation. As a result, we’ve mapped the main problems presented by both components and later confronted them through interviews with military and civilians in leadership positions, the theoretical confrontation with the with the main concepts of the CIMIC doctrine and discussed the process, projecting in this work some perspectives that can help to mitigate the problems found.
