Description

From the Back Cover Fifty years ago, academics and policymakers throughout the world agreed that it was impossible for certain sets of historically antagonistic groups to coexist peacefully on a long-term basis. This book examines the system of consociation, which was identified by Arend Lijphart and ended that pessimistic consensus. Lijphart’s specific observations concerning the impact of consociation are assessed quantitatively and qualitatively, facilitated through careful operationalization of his descriptions of consociation’s four components: grand coalition, minority veto, proportionality, and segmental autonomy. Insights derived from a dataset representing the experiences of eighty-eight countries are examined further through case study analysis of the seven societies most often discussed in relation to consociation: Austria, Belgium, Canada, the Netherlands, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Switzerland. The components of consociation are found to promote lasting peace in divided societies most successfully when combined with additional incentives for the encouragement of cross-cutting cleavages and shared loyalties.Brighid Brooks Kelly is Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania’s Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy, USA.

Review “This landmark study by Brighid Brooks Kelly richly deserves to endure. It is the first global empirical evaluation, accurate and precise, of Arend Lijphart's original account of consociation and consociational theory, rather than a quick-fix proxy assessment of what he is said to have implied. Brooks Kelly combines sophisticated quantitative analysis with systematic and well-informed case studies that reinforce her judgments. Her methods and conclusions, both empirical and prescriptive, should be read by all who care about the theory and practice of power-sharing in deeply divided places.” (Brendan O’Leary, Lauder Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania, US; World Leading Researcher and Visiting Professor, Queen’s University Belfast, UK; and former Senior Advisor on Power-sharing to the Mediation Support Unit of the United Nations) About the Author Brighid Brooks Kelly is Visiting Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania’s Andrea Mitchell Center for the Study of Democracy, USA.
