Students learn how power sharing helps manage social diversity, reduce conflict, and strengthen democratic participation.
Questions from this chapter may ask students to compare Belgium and Sri Lanka, understand the meaning of majoritarianism, identify the Belgian model of accommodation, explain prudential and moral reasons for power sharing, and recognise different forms of power sharing in modern democracies.
