Power-Sharing

Power-sharing is a political arrangement where different groups, often based on ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation, share governance responsibilities. This system aims to ensure that multiple voices are heard in decision-making, promoting inclusivity and stability, especially in diverse societies. Power-sharing can take various forms, such as coalition governments or constitutional arrangements that allocate specific powers to different groups. By distributing authority, it helps to prevent conflict and fosters cooperation among diverse communities, ensuring that no single group dominates or feels marginalized. This approach is commonly used in countries emerging from conflict or seeking to manage diversity peacefully.
