*Michal Balcerzak, Human Rights Quarterly*
This is a well written, comprehensive and in-depth study of the use
of consociationalism and power-sharing in areas with long-term
conflicts. A main strength of the book is that the theme is
analysed from different perspectives: theoretical, legal,
comparative and contextual.
