Question

what impact would lack of 'power sharing' have on thé country ?

Answer 1

If a country does not have power sharing arrangement, then chaos and disorder prevails in the country.There arises conflict between different social groups and disunity prevails. This is so because power is concentrated in the hands of majority and minority rights and privileges are ignored.In this regard we may take the example of Srilanka where lack of power sharing arrangement gave rise to civil war and disrupted the unity and peace in the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

Power sharing is the characteristic of good governance. Sharing of power helps in well functioning of democracy.

a. Lack of Power Sharing increases the chances of confliction and creates instability in the nation, as every community do not get treated equally, this establishes a feeling of resentment.

b. Lack of power-sharing reduces the efficiency of the government, as there are no checks and balances. The accountability of the authority gets reduced.

c. Lack of Power Sharing affects the right of people to get consulted by the authority.

Example: When Sri Lanka recognized Sinhala as the only official language it disregarded Tamils. They felt that they were denied equality. As a result, the relationship between the Sinhala and the Tamils strained and the Sri Lankan Tamils launched movements against the government. This distrust took the shape of Civil war, thousands of people were killed.
