Political Reform and the Demise of Consociationalism in Southeast Asia
نویسنده
چکیده
An intense scholarly and public policy debate concerns the optimal design of political institutions for new democracies, particularly those facing deep ethnic or cultural cleavages. Drawing on a book-length study of political engineering in the AsiaPacific region, this paper surveys the differences between consociational and centripetal approaches to institutional design. After examining the key components of each model, I then examine their application in Southeast Asia, and argue that most Southeast Asian electoral democracies have in recent years eschewed consociational institutions in favour of more centripetal approaches to political reform.
