OVERVIEW

Within the frames of NIGD’s project on global political parties and in order to facilitate the inclusion of voices outside the world of writing, NIGD organised four dialogues encouraging discussions on political parties, democracy and globalisation. The first dialogue took place in Helsinki in September 2005, a second one followed in New Delhi in November. The third and fourth dialogues were held in January 2006 in conjunction with the polycentric World Social Forums in Bamako, Mali and Caracas, Venezuela. At these dialogues, we presented and distributed early and partial drafts of the working papers.

This Working Paper, Dialogues on Party Systems and Global Democratisation includes complete reports from the four dialogues, presentations of the Party Internationals and selected background documents.
