It is often said that effective government requires a concentration of power. If we want our political leaders to adjust public policies to changing economic, social, and political circumstances, we should, in this view, leave our leaders alone: we should put in place electoral procedures that identify a clear winner in each election, and then we should let the winning political party govern without having to cooperate with others.The argument of this book is that this view is mistaken, since it seriously underestimates the ability of political decision makers to overcome democratic paralysis by compensating losers (groups that stand to lose from a reform). Reform capacity the ability of political decision makers to adopt and implement policy changes that benefit society as a whole can therefore be achieved in both powerconcentration systems (which enable governments to ignore losers) and powersharing systems (where governments build support for reform by compensating losers).If political decision makers are able to solve the bargaining problems that sometimes complicate negotiations between winners and losers, powersharing systems have certain advantages over powerconcentration systems. The book argues that power sharing can lead to high reform capacity in societies where interest groups are powerful enough to block reforms; the book also argues that power sharing can lead to high reform capacity when reforms have shortterm costs and longterm benefits, since power sharing helps to correct some of the shortsightedness that is inherent in democratic policymaking.
