Conflict Resolution between Power Sharing, Power Dividing, or Beyond?

• J. McGarry and B. O’Leary, The Northern Ireland Conflict: Consociational Engagements (Oxford University Press, 2004)
• P. G. Roeder and D. Rothchild (eds) Sustainable Peace: Power and Democracy after Civil Wars (Cornell University Press, 2005)
• B. O’Leary, J. McGarry, and K. Salih (eds) The Future of Kurdistan in Iraq (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005)
