National Dialogue Handbook
Grounded in a series of contemporary case studies, this Handbook aims to contribute to the nascent debate about National Dialogue, bringing together insights and expertise from diverse regions. In doing so, it seeks to present systematic reflections and offer practical advice.
The Handbook thus supports conflict stake-holders and practitioners (both local and international) to grapple with the challenges they face and to pursue the most appropriate design for their particular context.
Moving beyond simplistic approaches, it also seeks to provide an overview of National Dialogue processes, drawing from the expertise and practices of scholars and practitioners.
