Driving Democracy

This insightful hardback spans 320 pages and offers a comprehensive update to the theory of consociationalism, reflecting the significant developments in power-sharing since the early 1970s.

Through rigorous analysis, she tests the implications of these dimensions for the health and effectiveness of democratic governance.
