바레인 알 칼리파 정권의 종파주의와 권력 공유의 실패와 한계 = The Failures and Limitations of Sectarianism and Power Sharing of Bahrain's Al Khalifa Regime

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Al Khalifa royal family, the Sunni regime, as a powerful political actor and coordinator of power sharing, has intentionally divided society by exploiting the fears of sectarianism among the different communities. The 2011 Bahrain uprising exposed social conflict caused by sectarianism, and the end of the cause of the conflict can be a means of solving the social problem. Nevertheless, Al Khalifa regime continued to use sectarianism as its policy of social discrimination. However, the victims of sectarianism were not limited to shi'ite community. Sunni political groups choose political safety by expressing their loyalty side by Al Khalifa regime, but they did not political achieve much.
Sectarianism in Bahrain was only used as a tool of maintaining the secular regime of Al Khalifa family, and it also failed to power sharing between sects through elections, the preferred democratic process to alleviate the state's instability caused by conflicts between internally different groups.
If Bahrain's sectarianism is a zero-sum game in which neither sunni nor shi'ite communities win, it is necessary to realize that the disparate sectarian groups participating in these power struggles will lead to mutual dangers from intensifying conflict.
