Recent research has come to question power-sharing arrangements as a potent means to secure peace after ethnonationalist civil war. However, because such arrangements are adopted deliberately by the belligerents not only as the result of conflict, but also in direct anticipation of their prospects for peace, they must be considered endogenous to conflict. This suggests that power-sharing occurs empirically where peace is most fragile to begin with. Consequently, if not addressed properly, the causal eect of power-sharing is likely to be underestimated. I therefore model the accommodation of ethnic grievances and the recurrence of conflict as joint and interdependent processes. I apply the model to disaggregated data at the level of ethnic groups that captures various types of power constellations, including power-sharing agreements. Against criticism put forward by the literature, the results suggest that once endogeneity is accounted for, power-sharing indeed can serve as an eective tool to prevent recurrent violence.
