"The Role of Civil Society in Peacebuilding, Conflict Resolution, and Democratization" Conference Proceedings

June 1, 2012

Civil society is an essential part of the proper functioning of the state, helping to initiate, promote, and strengthen comprehensive and objective dialogue between governments and their people.
