Presenting a new framework for analysing the intra-party
representation and accommodation of ethnic diversity, Bogaards
proposes the concept of the 'consociational party' to reveal how
consociationalism within parties differs from that among parties.
This unique comparative study examines minority representation and
power sharing, in Canada, Fiji, India, Kenya, Malaysia, South
Africa, and Yugoslavia, and notes why this matters for social peace
and democracy. Case studies of the (former) ruling parties in these
diverse societies show how consociational parties struggle with the
dual role of representation and accommodation, weakening their
performance. Consociational parties have a narrow support base,
tend to be dominated by one group, provide conflict management only
when in power, benefit from majoritarian institutions, and are
associated with democratic decline, breakdown, and even
dictatorship. These differences have so far gone unnoticed in the
literature, but are brought out by Bogaards' systematic empirical
analysis.
