Power sharing

Power sharing is a practice in conflict resolution where multiple groups distribute political, military, or economic power among themselves according to agreed rules.[1] It can refer to any formal framework or informal pact that regulates the distribution of power between divided communities.[2] Since the end of the Cold War, power-sharing systems have become increasingly commonplace in negotiating settlements for armed conflict.[3] Two common theoretical approaches to power sharing are consociationalism and centripetalism.
