The notion of both majority and minority segments co-operating for the purposes of political stability has informed both international policy prescriptions for post-conflict zones and home-grown power-sharing pacts across the globe.  This book examines the effect of power-sharing forms of governance in bringing about political stability amid deep divisions. It is the first major comparison of two power-sharing designs – consociationalism and centripetalism - and it assesses a number of cases central to the debate, including Nigeria, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi and Northern Ireland. Drawing on information from a variety of sources, such as political party manifestoes and websites, media coverage, think tank reports, and election results, the author reaches significant conclusions about power-sharing as an invaluable conflict-management device.   This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of ethnic conflict management, power-sharing, ethnic politics, democracy and democratization, comparative constitutional design, comparative politics, intervention and peace-building.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51242075750673,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51242077618449,"sku":"NIN9781138683617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52120142381329,"sku":"NLS9781138683617","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1138683612.jpg?v=1750790861"},{"product_id":"power-sharing-and-political-stability-in-deeply-divided-societies-book-allison-mcculloch-9781138024762","title":"Power-Sharing and Political Stability in Deeply Divided Societies","description":"This book examines the effect of power-sharing forms of governance in bringing about political stability amid deep divisions.

Despite these benefits, it has been much criticised, with claims that it is unable to produce peace and stability, is ineffective and inefficient, and obstructs other peacebuilding values, including gender equality.  This edited collection aims to enhance our understanding of the utility of power-sharing in deeply divided places by subjecting power-sharing theory and practice to empirical and normative analysis and critique. Its overarching questions are:         Do power-sharing arrangements enhance stability, peace and cooperation in divided societies?      Do they do so in ways that promote effective governance?      Do they do so in ways that promote justice, fairness and democracy?  Utilising a broad range of global empirical case studies, it provides a space for dialogue between leading and emerging scholars on the normative questions surrounding power-sharing. Distinctively, it asks proponents of power-sharing to think critically about its weaknesses.  This text will be of interest to students, scholars and practitioners of power-sharing, ethnic politics, democracy and democratization, peacebuilding, comparative constitutional design, and more broadly Comparative Politics, International Relations and Constitutional and Comparative Law.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52478631313681,"sku":"NLS9780367173784","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367173784.jpg?v=1778148383"},{"product_id":"power-sharing-book-allison-mcculloch-9781138640368","title":"Power-Sharing","description":"Power-sharing is an important political strategy for managing protracted conflicts and it can also facilitate the democratic accommodation of difference.
