Abstract

This paper reviews key questions and empirical evidence on the relationship between power-sharing institutions and post-conflict trajectories in countries that have experienced civil war. It identifies open questions and outlines a research agenda that is conducive to mixed methods design. Different measures and concepts of power-sharing are discussed, and a broad set of empirical results is reviewed and replicated. The conditions that are favorable to different types of power-sharing are considered as are the consequences of power-sharing for the risk of war recurrence and for democratic stability. Differences between constraining and dispersive power-sharing are discussed and the pacifying effects of dispersive power-sharing are analyzed, providing new insights on the implications of external intervention for the postwar stability of power-sharing institutions.
