Book Description
Power-sharing serves as a popular conflict resolution device at war’s end. Yet, the performance record of such arrangements is highly variable, sometimes leading to peace and stability and at other times to immobilism and institutional collapse. This book explores the adoption, function, and dissolution of power-sharing arrangements across the Global South, including case studies of Colombia, Ethiopia, Malaysia, and Iraq, and others to make sense of this mixed record. Authors identify a range of contextual factors as well as significant variations in the institutional rules and their meaning across the cases that help to explain divergent power-sharing outcomes. Emphasis throughout the chapters is placed on system adaptability for power-sharing success.
About the Author
From the Back Cover "Assessing consociationalism and other forms of power-sharing from across the Global South, this volume is both timely and needed, helping to broaden and deepen our understanding of how such arrangements come into being, how they function, and how they adapt over time. The book will be of interest not only for power-sharing scholars but for anyone interested in understanding the challenges of making democracy work in divided societies across the Global South." ---Arend Lijphart, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of California San DiegoPower-sharing serves as a popular conflict resolution device at war’s end.
