POLITICS chapter :1

 Why power sharing is desirable?



• Power sharing is good because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups.

• Power sharing is the very spirit of democracy.
→ A democratic rule involves sharing power with those affected by its exercise, and who have to live with its effects.

Forms of power-sharing

• In modern democracies, power sharing arrangements can take many forms.

→ Horizontal distribution of power: Power is shared among different organs of government, such as the legislature, executive and judiciary. Example: India.

→ Federal Government (Vertical distribution of power): Power can be shared among governments at different levels – a general government for the entire country and governments at the provincial or regional level. Example: USA.

→ Power may also be shared among different social groups such as the religious and linguistic groups. Example: ‘Community government’ in Belgium
