Political Economy of Power Sharing in Developing Countries

The clamour for power shift, zoning, and power sharing are rooted in the competition by identity factors of ethnicity, religion, and geography for economic gains for groups and individuals within identity factors. The competition for public offices is primarily aimed at securing a strategic control of socioeconomic and political resources.
Political Economy of Power Sharing in Developing Countries is an in-depth examination of factors that trigger the clamor for power sharing, zoning and rotation in mostly developing countries. These provocations include geographical, ethnic, and religious identity factors that can influence the political process in varying degrees from country to country. The impact goes a long way in determining the stability and instability of the political process in various countries. The reasons for these differences and the impacts are a combination of the endogenous variables in the first instance, which are the primary prompters. Other elements, which are the exogenous factors, are secondary prompters. When these converge, they produce a peculiar impact in a given society based on the characteristic variables and the resulting outcome. The new paradigm shifts in the agitation in developing countries is demonstrated by an elitist instrument of marginalization and self-aggrandizement. The masses are hoodwinked, sensitized, and manipulated through primal sentiment to support the elites in acquiring political power, which in turn enables the acquisition of economic power.
