Abstract

Using a method of agreement comparison, the author argues that conflict resolutions using consociationalism are likely more successful. Analysing the outcome of two different conflicts, the Troubles in Northern Ireland and the Bosnian War, the author finds that the consociationalist aspects of the two agreements that ended the conflicts must have had a positive effect on sustaining peace.
