Power sharing in Northern Ireland: design, operation and proposals 1999-2006
The literature on power sharing focuses on the intense debate between consociationalism and integrative approaches. While consociationalists maintain that democracy in divided societies can be developed via a ‘grand coalition’ and segmental autonomy, ‘integrationists’ argue for institutions that …

The inevitable clash? Inter-religious violence and local power-sharing in Nigeria
… is a function of pre-existing ethno-tribal power-sharing arrangements at the local level. While scholars and policy-makers are disappointed by the ability of formal, national-level power-sharing institutions to avert ethnic conflict and instability, they overlook the peacebuilding capacity …

Policy Bargaining and Incompatibilities in Civil Wars: Intervention, Power-Sharing, and Preferences
Civil wars in which conflict parties claim a regime lead to crisis at both domestic and international levels. Such claims for new regime have been a part of the democratization process throughout history. Thus, for both domestic and international participants in civil conflicts, bargaining is often …

A power sharing based approach for optimizing photovoltaic generation in autonomous microgrids
… energy resources are being deployed in the power grid. However, the intermittent nature of some popular renewable resources presents the problem of optimizing their use. This work presents a control strategy for the optimization of available photovoltaic generation in an autonomous …

Collaborative Environmental Decisionmaking: A Power Sharing Process that Achieves Results Through Dialogue
… the process participants share information and power as they take joint responsibility in attempting to make decisions, reach solutions, or resolve issues. This study identifies basic elements of collaborative environmental decisionmaking through an analysis of several collaborative processes. …

WHY FIGHT WHEN YOU CAN RULE TOGETHER? REBEL POWER-SHARING DURING CIVIL WARS
… by rebels to manage ethnic diversity and create power-sharing institutions. This thesis aims to address this gap by exploring the factors that influence the formation of rebel power-sharing arrangements during civil wars. The central research question guiding this study is: What explains the …

Advanced Power Sharing Scheme under Unbalanced and Nonlinear Loads in an Islanding Microgrid
Active, unbalanced, and harmonic power sharing inaccurately between distributed generators (DGs) and voltage quality problems are critical issues under unbalanced and nonlinear loads in the micro grids. Thus, an advanced power sharing scheme with unbalanced and harmonic loads in islanding micro …

Power sharing strategy using H∞ controller between two distributed generation sources in islanded mode
… operated in islanded mode. Voltage and frequency power sharing controller techniques are commonly used for sharing loads. However, this non-communication power sharing control technique has a disadvantage, where the frequency and voltage deviations are severe during a sudden load change. …

Power Sharing and Power Quality Improvement in Parallel Connected Power Converters in the Microgrid
Power electronics-based Voltage Source Converters (VSCs) have been widely used as an interface between energy source and the grid/load in microgrid system. The VSCs are required not only to provide the basic function that achieves reliable and accurate power sharing in a microgrid, but also to …

Power sharing conditioning control in single-phase parallel distributed generations with simple improvement of droop control
Droop control is the critical solution for sharing the power demand between Distributed Generations (DGs) in islanding microgrid when there is no support from the electricity distribution grid. The droop control is applied as the local control scheme to achieve power sharing among parallel …

The effects of elite-led power sharing on postconflict urban reconstruction: consociationalism and the Mostar case
… democracy is a system of elite-led, power-sharing government commonly instituted in countries following ethnic conflicts. The benefits and costs of consociational government are well-documented at the national scale, but less so at the municipal level (even though divided cities have …

Into the fold: security fears and power sharing, the credible commitment of rebel military integration and durable peace
… of this credible commitment problem by including power-sharing mechanism in the peace agreement. One such power-sharing mechanism is the integration of rebel fighters into the national military. I argue that this military integration provides the disarming group the ability to provide their own …

The politics of change? A critical analysis of power sharing in Kenya after Kofi Annan's mediation in 2008
… elections, and the performance of the subsequent power sharing agreement. This study does so by focusing on five variables, as defined by Alexandre Raffoul, that are particularly relevant in understanding barriers to elite cooperation in power sharing settlements. By analysing problems relating to …

MANAGEMENT OF HYBRID (AC-DC) MICRO-GRIDS
… objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the sharing demanded power in a single-phase hybrid micro grid operating in autonomous island mode. We assume that we have DC power sources such as a photovoltaic array and wind turbine in the DC sub-grid that is tied to the AC sub-grid consisting of …

Resurgent Ethnic Violence in Post-War Societies: A Comparative Assessment of Externally Guaranteed Consociational Experiments
… violent ethnic conflict re-emerges following a power-sharing agreement in states that have witnessed civil wars. By surveying the post-war state-building experiences of Lebanon, Iraq, Northern Ireland and Bosnia, it evaluates and compares the record of consociational democracy under foreign …

ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION AS A MILITANT DEMOCRACY AGENT: PROMOTING DEMOCRACY IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
… V-Dem indices (polyarchy, rule of law, women’s empowerment). Explanatory conditions include structural factors (development, inequality, ethnolinguistic fractionalization, freedom from autocratic influence) and proximate factors (power-sharing, government effectiveness), alongside the two …
