| Summary: |
This unique comparative study examines minority representation and powersharing in Canada, Kenya, South Africa, Fiji, India, Malaysia, and Yugoslavia. Presenting a new concept of the 'consociational party', Bogaards explores how diversity differs within parties and why it matters for social peace and democracy. "This new book by Matthijs Bogaards makes a significant and highly original contribution to the literature on consociational democracy by studying the seven major political parties that have been internally consociational. It constitutes a crucial theoretical advance that will be of great interest to all scholars and students who study the problems of divided societies." - Arend Lijphart, University of California, USA. |
