Summary/Abstract: The paper analytically looks at the prerequisites which make for a stable or unstable democracy in an ethnically divided society. The theories which came out of studying the factors which attribute to the stabilisation of ethnic conflict and the efficiency of democratic management are unanimous that deep ethnic and other social divisions pose a severe threat to democracy. Additionally, a conclusion was made that for conflict prevention and a successful management it is necessary to establish institutional arrangements which are intended for divided societies, and which lie on the division of power. Apart from several standard theories which heavily rely on linear logic, due to achieving a comprehensive approach in viewing the problem, the paper questions multiple factors by the method of simultaneous usage of different theories.
