Bifurcation behavior of effective Hamiltonians is investigated for coupled systems of Bose-Einstein condensates. Phase-space structure mapped on the Bloch sphere shows a variety of Josephson-related behavior, systematically classified in the bifurcation analysis, leading to a phase diagram with prediction of some physical effects.
