Abstract (may include machine translation)

According to its advocates, consociationalism helps to secure democracy and social peace in divided societies. According to its critics, power-sharing arrangements and local autonomy reinforce societal divisions. They see consociationalism as a transitory remedy at best, especially useful in postconflict societies. In today's world, most new consociations have emerged after civil war.
