Question

What is power sharing why it is desirable?

Answer 1

Power-sharing is a political arrangement in which different or opposing groups all take part in government together.

(i) Power sharing is desirable because it helps to reduce the possibility of conflict between social groups. Since social conflicts eventually lead to political instability, power sharing ensures the stability of the political order.

(ii) Powers sharing is the very spirit of democracy. A legitimate government is one where citizens through participation, acquire a stake in the system.
