      abstract = {This book evaluates the performance of consociational  power-sharing arrangements in Europe by addressing two key  questions: First, under what conditions do consociational  arrangements come in and out of being? And second, how do  consociational arrangements work in practice and how do  they mediate potential deadlock between power-sharing  partners? The volume assesses core aspects of power-sharing  theory and practice through a collection of case studies  drawn from across the European continent. Chapters cover  those countries which were early adopters of  consociationalism but which have since moved on to other  institutional designs (the Netherlands, Austria), early  adopters which continue to use consociational processes to  manage their differences (Belgium, Switzerland, South  Tyrol), and new wave cases where consociationalism was  adopted after violent internal conflict (Bosnia and  Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Northern Ireland).  The book also examines cases of unresolved conflict and  consider to what extent consociationalism can help mediate  their ongoing divisions (Cyprus, Spain). Soeren Keil is  Reader in Politics and International Relations at  Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. He is also  Visiting Professor and Module Director at Centre  International de Formation Europeene (CIFE) in Nice,  France. His research focuses on the use of territorial  autonomy as a tool of conflict resolution, the political  systems of the Western Balkan states and the process of EU  enlargement. Allison McCulloch is Associate Professor of  Political Science at Brandon University, Manitoba, Canada.  Her research considers the politics of deeply divided  societies, with a specific emphasis on the design of  political power-sharing (consociational) institutions.},
