In Power-Sharing Executives, Joanne McEvoy asks whether certain institutional rules can promote cooperation between political parties representing the contending groups in a deeply divided place. Examining the different experiences of post conflict power sharing in Bosnia, Macedonia, and Northern Ireland, she finds that with certain incentives and norms in place, power sharing can indeed provide political space for an atmosphere of joint governance or accommodation between groups. Power-Sharing Executives explains how the institutional design process originated and evolved in each of the three nations and investigates the impact of institutional rules on interethnic cooperation. McEvoy also looks at the role of external actors such as international organizations in persuading political elites to agree to share power and to implement power-sharing peace agreements. This comparative analysis of institutional formation and outcomes shows how coalitions of varying inclusivity or with different rules can bring about a successful if delicate consociationality in practice. Power-Sharing Executives offers prescriptions for policymakers facing the challenges of mediating peace in a post conflict society and sheds light on the wider study of peace promotion.National and ethnic conflict in the 21st century.Representative government and representationCase studiesMinoritiesPolitical activityCase studiesEthnic groupsPolitical activityCase studiesEthnic conflictPolitical aspectsCase studiesCultural pluralismPolitical aspectsCase studiesBosnia and HercegovinaPolitics and governmentPolitical Science.Public Policy.Representative government and representationMinoritiesPolitical activityEthnic groupsPolitical activityEthnic conflictPolitical aspectsCultural pluralismPolitical aspects352.23McEvoy Joanne1594070MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808040203321Power-sharing executives3957748UNINA
