| Summary/Abstract |
Academic and policy debates on the best approach to managing diversity in conflict-affected places continue, fueled by persistent tensions in deeply divided societies, including the failure of Northern Ireland’s parties to form an Executive, the debates among Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Entities, and the implosion of Lebanon’s institutions. The three volumes reviewed here represent the latest contribution to our understanding of institutional approaches to accommodate diversity in conflict-affected places and beyond. Produced by three sets of scholars with an impressive track record of theoretically relevant and empirically rich engagement with power sharing, these three volumes set out to challenge a growing pessimism on the potential for inclusive and representative institutions allow for stable war-to-peace transition.
