Description

The consensus in multicultural societies such as North Macedonia

may not be the same as in states with a homogeneous liberal culture. The "pow- er-sharing" model that emerged from a war crisis and a peace Agreement

acknowledges the division of society which is in the process of consolidation. The Elite consensual culture in the sense of Liphart's "spirit of adaptation and compromise" has been considered necessary for democratic consolidation, by

not neglecting the power of voters to elect their political leaders. North Macedo- nia can have a thriving multicultural Democracy only if it builds an authentic

consensual model of power-sharing that is generated under the social, cultural, ethnic, and religious structure of his society.

Keywords:

Consociational Democracy; Power-sharing; Elite Political Culture; North Macedonia.

Multicultural consolidation through Consociational De- mocracy

Lipjan, Kosovo

The consensus in multicultural societies such as North Macedonia

may not be the same as in states with a homogeneous liberal culture. The "pow- er-sharing" model that emerged from a war crisis and a peace Agreement

acknowledges the division of society which is in the process of consolidation. The Elite consensual culture in the sense of Liphart's "spirit of adaptation and compromise" has been considered necessary for democratic consolidation, by

not neglecting the power of voters to elect their political leaders. North Macedo- nia can have a thriving multicultural Democracy only if it builds an authentic

consensual model of power-sharing that is generated under the social, cultural, ethnic, and religious structure of his society.
