SummaryTable of Contents
The stability of divided societies often depends on whether the elites of rival subcultures are willing and able to engage in compromise, as opposed to confrontation. This volume offers a new and detailed comparative analysis of such societies thirty years on. Contributors use a novel combination of Lijphart's model of consociational democracy and the most recent literature on political parties to examine the pivotal role played by political parties within and between divided societies.
