Abstract:
Northern Ireland and South Africa are both noted as well know examples of
consociational and integrative power-sharing. Both of these countries are used as
models for other ethnically divided countries to follow to bring about peace and
reconciliation. And while it is true that both countries were successful in bringing an
end to ethic conflict in their regions, Northern Ireland via the Good Friday Agreement
and South Africa via the 1994 elections and the 1996 constitution, it is also important
to assess their effectiveness if they are to be used as a road map by other ethnically
divided societies.
