Consociational power sharing is presented as a favored strategy by the international community for post-war political stability, particularly in ethnically or religiously divided societies. It aims to ensure all groups are included in governance, thus avoiding the oppression of minorities. However, the effectiveness of this system can be undermined when international actors excessively intervene in local politics, potentially reversing the benefits of this approach. The book explores these dynamics and the implications for conflict resolution and governance.
