Abstract
Consociational democracy is considered a viable model for building stable democracies in de eply divided societies and is frequently employed in post-conflict nation-building. In North Macedonia, the Ohrid Framework Agreement (OFA), which ended the 2001 ethnic conflict between Albanian armed groups and Macedonian security forces expanded the rights of eth nic Albanians to halt the conflict but faced criticism for insufficient representation of smaller minorities. This study examines small minority representation in consociational democra cies using North Macedonia as a case study. It argues that smaller minorities such as Turks and Roma have not seen significant improvements in their rights compared to Albanians in post-Ohrid North Macedonia.
