The politics of Lebanon and Northern Ireland are relevant case studies to answer this question. Using Pierre Nora's lieux de memoire scheme of historical memory, this book crafts a theory of sites of social interaction (SSI) and strategies of social cohesion in power-sharing institutions. SSIs and cohesion strategies that increase tensions will cause power-sharing failure in the long run, and vice versa. Thus, there is a causal link between power-sharing and ethnic tensions in divided societies, through mechanisms of SSIs and cohesion strategies. Lebanon and Northern Ireland encode power-sharing with different sites of social interaction and cohesion strategies, as a reflection of a society's composition and institutional design, respectively. Power-sharing implementation provides the missing link in our knowledge of power-sharing and ethnic tensions. At Boston College, this work won the 2021 Donald S. Carlisle Award for academic excellence in political science.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Czar Alexei Sepe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1665527676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781665527675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Authorhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Czar Alexei Sepe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994645528831,"sku":"9781665527675","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2c5ea0a4-3476-4894-be1c-6198b0db7493.jpg?v=1683331373","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-beirut-to-belfast-czar-alexei-sepe-9781665527675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
