“…There was an aggressive competition among the parties based on ethnicity during the first republic as such Nigeria was in state ethno-political tension right from the first republic (Trzciński, 2016). On this note, Onuoha (2014) lamented that struggle for power has remained the main issue central to the major ethno-regional groups of Nigeria since her independence in 1960 (Ojo, 2016;Nwozor, 2014).…”

The paper interrogates politics of rancor in Nigeria's fourth republic and its implication to ethnic divide, national unity and democratic development. Politics in Nigeria during post-independence and fourth republic is been played along ethnic, religious and regional linings and this has culminated to ethnic divide, national disunity and low political development. The distinctive code of conduct that depicts fairness and equity has eluded Nigerians thereby leading to behavioral derailment and attitudinal change in our political system and culture. Issues with regard to political appointments, promotions and heads of institutions are determined by ethnicity, religion and party affiliations thereby promoting political crisis and feelings of alienation. Political actors from various regions neither pursue issue of national interest rather active on politics of patronage and clientage. The paper adopts a qualitative method using secondary data and conflict of interest theory is used as a framework to the study. The paper revealed that the rationale behind politics of rancor is anchored on the notion that national leaders are recruited on the basis of their ethnicity, religion and region lining rather than their ability, experience, vision and national outlook in character. The paper recommends that Nigerians should do away with hate and bitter expressions which had for a long time undermine Nigeria quest to attain good governance and elect visionary leaders base on their abilities not ethnic and religious cleavages.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the validity of the thesis that in Indonesia one can find institutions that characterize two power-sharing models which are considered opposites of one another in political theory – centripetalism and consociationalism. In consequence, the Indonesian power-sharing system should be viewed as a hybrid, or mixed, system, and not a typically centripetal system as is usually the case in the literature. At the beginning of this article, a short analysis of Indonesia's political situation is given for the purpose of defining the factors which determined the introduction of inter-segmental power-sharing solutions in that country. This is followed by a description of the specificity of consociationalism and centripetalism. The article goes on to discuss specific institutions of both power-sharing models which exist in Indonesia and ends with some concluding remarks on the thesis advanced at the outset.

This paper discusses the theory of the so-called hybrid power-sharing (HPS). HPS is – along with consociationalism and centripetalism – one of the main models of power-sharing (PS) political systems, which have been implemented especially in some multi-ethnic and multi-religious states. PS-type systems provide specific institutions that may reduce conflicts between social segments like ethnic groups or religious communities and between them and the central government. HPS functions, among others in Nigeria and Indonesia, i.e., states that will soon be among the most important in the world. In the HPS system, mainly centripetal and consociational institutions are combined. This paper’s primary purpose is to present new, in-depth HPS conceptual assumptions, defined and systematized based on the cases of Nigeria, Indonesia, Kenya, and Burundi, and to indicate empirical examples of the leading institutions forming HPS in these states.
