Power sharing involves distributing authority across different government bodies, levels of government, and social groups. It aims to reduce conflict, promote inclusive decision making, and ensure the smooth functioning of democracy. There are two main types of power sharing - horizontal, which involves sharing power between different branches of government; and vertical, which distributes power between national, state, and local levels of administration. Power sharing also extends to linguistic, religious, and other minority communities to give them representation in government.
