The Politics of Constitutional Amendment Procedures in Divided Societies

Quick fact

In deeply divided societies like Bosnia and Herzegovina, the constitution requires the consent of all three constituent peoples for many amendments, effectively giving each group a veto; this design, though intended to protect minorities, has been criticized for cementing ethnic divisions and hindering reform.

Why this is interesting

Imagine a country where two main groups distrust each other, and one group can block any change to the constitution. Is this a recipe for gridlock or a mechanism for peace?
