Traditional narratives that attribute resource-based conflicts solely to scarcity overlook the cyclical nature of resource availability and the strategic behaviors it fosters. This study explores the interaction between resource scarcity and abundance in South Sudan to examine how both conditions drive and sustain interethnic violence in the Dinka-Nuer and Nuer-Murle conflicts, with a specific focus on grazing land, water, and cattle. Using process tracing focusing on the time period 2011 to 2021, the findings challenge the traditional scarcity-driven narrative by highlighting the cyclical relationship between scarcity and abundance, where both conditions perpetuate competition and violence. Scarcity forces communities into aggressive survival strategies such as migration, territorial invasion, and cattle raiding. Conversely, abundance triggers strategic competition for resource control, as communities seek to consolidate their dominance in preparation for future scarcity. The cyclical dynamic highlights how scarcity and abundance are interconnected forces that perpetuate competition and conflict. The study further examines how relative differences in resource scarcity and abundance across societal levels and across government versus population are linked to conflict, and how perceptions of resource abundance or scarcity generate feelings of inequality that can be weaponized as political capital. The combined insights into the environmental, economic, and socio-political dimensions in this study provide a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms driving resource-based conflicts in South Sudan. The findings emphasize the need for integrated solutions, including equitable resource management, transparent governance, and efforts to mitigate the psychological and social impacts of resource competition.
