The Lebanese National Dialogue: Past and present experience of consensus-buildingNational Dialogue Handbook: Case Studies
This paper looks at the National Dialogue experience of Lebanon. National Dialogues have been part of the country’s political and social fabric. They have served as an important consensus-building mechanism for core political actors to address issues of common national concern. The paper provides a snapshot of the history of National Dialogues in Lebanon during the civil war and onwards, followed by an assessment of aspects of the National Dialogue from 2008-2014, addressing its composition, themes, outcomes, support mechanisms, and consensus-building principles. It concludes with a more general reflection about challenges and dilemmas of the Lebanese National Dialogue.

National Dialogue HandbookA guide for practitioners (Executive Summary)
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. The purpose of the Handbook is twofold: (1) to offer an analytical framework of National Dialogues and (2) to serve as a practical tool for those engaged in the implementation of these processes. It also addresses the role of external actors and how they can best support National Dialogue processes, but it is focused primarily on those who are in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions on the design, conduct and implementation of National Dialogue processes.

Manuel de dialogue nationalGuide à l’attention des praticiens (Résumé analytique)
Basé sur une série d’études de cas contemporains, ce manuel aspire à contribuer au débat naissant sur le dialogue national, en faisant se rencontrer les pers-pectives et les expertises de diverses régions. Le but du manuel est double : (1) offrir un cadre analytique aux dialogues nationaux et (2) servir d’outil pratique à ceux qui sont engagés dans la mise en œuvre de ces processus. Il traite également du rôle des acteurs extérieurs et des meilleures façons dont ils peuvent soutenir les processus de dialogues nationaux. Il se concentre cependant principalement sur ceux qui sont aux postes de commande quand il s’agit de prendre les décisions sur la conception, la conduite et la mise en œuvre des processus de dialogues nationaux.

ZwischenWelten Begleitheft
Der Dokumentarfilm "ZwischenWelten - wie Krieg Kinder zeichnet" begleitet drei geflüchtete Kinder und Jugendliche bei ihrem Ankommen in Deutschland. In drei Kapiteln erzählen die Kinder ihre Geschichten und Erlebnisse im Krieg, auf ihrer Flucht und über ihr Leben in Deutschland. Auf Aussagen von Expertinnen und Experten wurde bewusst verzichtet, lediglich die Eltern und eine Lehrerin ordnen das Gesagte der Kinder an wenigen Stellen ein.
Zu dem Dokumentarfilm entstand im Dialog mit Lehrkräften ein Begleitheft, das aufzeigt, wie unterschiedliche Themen des Films Eingang in den Unterricht finden können. Durch seine Dreitteilung eignet sich der Film besonders gut, in kürzeren Abschnitten gezeigt und anschließend mit den Materialien in diesem Heft kombiniert zu werden.

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing“Post-Junta” Judicial Reform in Myanmar (2010 – 2015)
This publication assesses ongoing and substantive developments towards rule of law and access to justice within the first ‘post-junta’ period (2010-2015) in Myanmar. The paper finds that while there have been some areas of increased freedoms in the country, the judicial system has largely persisted unaltered, remaining poisoned with impunity and lacking true independence. The failure of the first post-junta government to reform the legal system has left the country morally bankrupt and institutionally insolvent.
