The bachelor's thesis focuses on the government model in Northern Ireland, it deals in more detail with the issue of applying the consociational principle after the 2022 elections. This issue is introduced by the theoretical concept of consociational democracy, when is placed in a historical context, where this thesis describes the formation of the consociational principle of governance in Northern Ireland and then analyses the individual suspensions of the Northern Ireland Assembly, whose examination mainly observes the main characteristics of consociational democracy by Arend Lijphart. These theses aim to find answers to the research question of whether consociational democracy is a working implement for contemporary governance in Northern Ireland. Analysis of the results of the election and subsequent post-election negotiations show that the functionality of the electoral principle of governance is not optimal and leads Northern Ireland to a situation without a functional Northern Ireland Assembly, with a still-rising number of calls for a change in the formation of the government. |
