What are the different forms of power-sharing in modern democracies? Give an example of each of these.
Modern democracies involves the different forms of power sharing which are given below with an example :
(1) Power sharing among different organs of government such as the legislature, executive and judiciary:
Horizontal distribution of power is done.
For example, in India Parliament enacts laws. Executive executes or implements them and the functioning of executive or laws made by the leg statues are checked by judiciary.
(2) Power sharing among governments at different levels :
There are governments at the National, State and Local levels.
Powers are divided among them. For example in India, Powers are divided between the Center and the States. There are three lists i.e., Union list, State list and Concurrent list. The residuary powers which are not included in the three lists are with the Central Government.
(3) Power sharing among different social groups :
Like in Belgium, Sometimes religious and linguistic groups share power where there is a “community government” which is elected by people belonging to a particular type of language community no matter where they live.
Such a government has power regarding cultural, educational and language related issues.
(4) Power sharing among political parties, pressure groups and movements : Sometimes power is shared by different political parties having different influences and ideologies. Such alliances form coalition governments.
