The three power-sharing systems in Southeastern Europe in Kosovo, Macedonia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are part of a wider regional pattern of minority inclusion. Power sharing in the three countries was established as a tool of post-conflict interethnic accommodation and enshrines group rights and political representation to varying degrees. The corporate consociational system in Bosnia stands in contrast to less rigid systems in Macedonia and Kosovo. The essay argues that, while consociationalism in Southeastern Europe complicated democratization and enshrines some flaws of the democratic system, it is not the sole or even the main obstacle to the consolidation of liberal democracies in Southeastern Europe.
