“…194-195;Kertzer & Arel, 2001;Szreter et al, 2004;Aitken, 2007). In consociational settings, quotas and the political control over the territory are sometimes directly linked to the officially recognised ethnic structure of the population (McCulloch, 2014;McCrudden & O'Leary, 2013;Williams & Husk, 2013, p. 297).…”

Ethnicity remains one of the most salient layers of individuals' social identities, and information about the distribution of ethnic identities turns out to be crucial for many studies that investigate political or social processes in divided societies. In the aftermath of civil wars, however, censuses providing such data are controversial and often delayed. Where census data are lacking, researchers can make use of the multiplier method to infer the distribution of ethnic identities based on indirect observations from sub-samples of the population. However, due to the selective nature of their data, the sub-samples might not be representative of the population. This paper proposes a method, which corrects for such selection effects. Based on the ethnic identity of birth-giving parents, the authors estimate the distribution of ethnic identities in the municipalities of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for 2008-2010. They correct for possible selection biases by including economic, demographic and war-related variables. Multiple tests of validity show that this estimation appears to be the most accurate procedure currently available for the distribution of ethnic identities in municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“…He promotes institutions that incentivise cross-ethnic cooperation and reward moderates instead of ethnic entrepreneurs (Horowitz 1985;Horowitz 2008). Reacting to the critique, Lijphart and other consociationalists have broadened their concept towards "liberal consociationalism," which enables the individual to choose and change his or her identity freely (McCulloch 2012). However in a situation of sectarian tensions -as is the case in Bahrain today -it is most likely that people will choose their corporate identities, meaning that liberal consociational institutions will still lead to corporate decisions.…”

“…Similarly, Allison McCulloch (2012) maintains that the liberal variant deserves preference over corporate elements. The main problem with the latter would be that they freeze one moment in time, and because this moment of implementation is usually when groups are most polarized, the basis for future governing remains one of deep entrenchment.…”

“…1 At present, more than twenty years later, the Lebanese state has continued to enjoy relative stability and this success is again ascribed to the power sharing elements in its institutions by various scholars (Lijphart, 1999;McCulloch, 2012;McGarry & O'Leary, 2007). Besides, more thorough research about the origins of the Lebanese civil war often concludes that the factors leading to it were external rather than internal, and that the latter ones were related to the pre-determined character of Lebanon's consociation, i.e.…”
