Democracy Building and Conflict Management – Many organizations work in conflict management. What gives International IDEA its niche in this area, and its added value, is in overtly linking conflict management to democracy, both in viewing and using the institutions of democracy as conflict management tools, and in approaching conflict management within civil society as a focused support for sustainable democracy.
