This book does both: it provides greater clarification of the key terms, and analysis is extended massively through sections dealing with electoral systems, historical cases, and an imaginative set of issues that confront contemporary power-sharing arrangements. Crucially, a powerful introduction is matched by a brilliant synthetic conclusion.

Ideally, such measures promote inclusiveness or at least the coexistence of divergent cultures within a state. In places deeply divided by national, ethnic, linguistic, or religious conflict, power sharing is the standard prescription for reconciling antagonistic groups, particularly where genocide, expulsion, or coerced assimilation threaten the lives and rights of minority peoples. In recent history, the success record of this measure is mixed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003ePower Sharing in Deeply Divided Places\u003c\/i\u003e features fifteen analytical studies of power-sharing systems, past and present, as well as critical evaluations of the role of electoral systems and courts in their implementation. Interdisciplinary and international in formation and execution, the chapters encompass divided cities such as Belfast, Jerusalem, Kirkuk, and Sarajevo and divided places such as Belgium, Israel\/Palestine, Northern Ireland, and South Africa, as well as the Holy Roman Empire, the Saffavid Empire, Aceh in Indonesia, and the European Union.\u003cbr\u003e Equally suitable for specialists, teachers, and students, \u003ci\u003ePower Sharing in Deeply Divided Places\u003c\/i\u003e considers the merits and defects of an array of variant systems and provides explanations of their emergence, maintenance, and failings; some essays offer lucid proposals targeted at particular places. While this volume does not presume that power sharing is a panacea for social reconciliation, it does suggest how it can help foster peace and democracy in conflict-torn countries.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContributors:\u003c\/b\u003e Liam Anderson, Florian Bieber, Scott A.
