This book focuses on the design and operation of power-sharing in
deeply divided societies. Beyond this starting point, it seeks to
examine the different ways in which consociational institutions
emerge from negotiations and peace settlements across three
counter-intuitive cases - post-Brexit referendum Northern Ireland,
the Brussels Capital Region and Cyprus. Across each of the
chapters, the analysis assesses how the design or mediation of
these various forms of power-sharing demonstrate similarity,
difference and complexity in how consociationalism has been
conceived of and operated within each of these contexts. Finally, a
key objective of the book is to explore and evaluate how ideas
surrounding power-sharing have evolved and changed incrementally
within each of the empirical contexts. The unifying argument within
the book is that power-sharing has to have the capacity to adapt to
changing political circumstances, and that this can be achieved
through the interplay of formal and informal micro-level
refinements to these institutions and the procedures that govern
them, that allow such institutions to evolve over time in ways that
increase their utility as conflict transformation governance
structures for deeply divided societies. This book fills the gap in
the published literature between theoretical and empirical studies
of power-sharing, and will be of much interest to students of peace
and conflict studies, consociationalism, European politics and IR
in general.
