Abstract

Abstract Using a lifecycle perspective, this paper analyzes the use of reserved seats and the evolution of cooptation norms and practices in Burundi between the signature of the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement in 2000 and the 2020 legislative elections. Value-driven objectives, such as minority protection, only partly explain their use and design. The adoption, functionality and recent transformation of electoral cooptation were also determined by realpolitik, most notably by the elites’ struggle for positions and the balance of power. Cooptation had important effects on ethnic cohabitation within parliamentary factions. The paper contributes to the literature on the micro-institutions of power-sharing.

布隆迪保留席位和合作(2000-2020年)

本文采用生命周期视角，分析了2000年《阿鲁沙和平与和解协议》签署至2020年立法选举期间，布隆迪保留席位的使用以及合作规范和实践的演变。价值驱动的目标，如保护少数群体，只能部分解释它们的使用和设计。选举合作的采用、功能和最近的转变也由现实政治决定，最明显的是精英们对职位和权力平衡的争夺。党争对议会派系内部的种族共存有重要影响。本文对权力分享微观制度的研究有一定的贡献。
