Reviews
"This new book by Matthijs Bogaards makes a significant and highly original contribution to the literature on consociational democracy by studying the seven major political parties that have been internally consociational. It constitutes a crucial theoretical advance that will be of great interest to all scholars and students who study the problems of divided societies."
