Democracy, Conflict
and Security

Understanding and acting upon the effects that violent conflict and the state management and mitigation of violence have over electoral processes, constitutional making processes, political parties and representation is fundamental when engaging in policy debates or programming in democratization processes in contexts of state fragility, and in countries with protracted conflict or post-conflict.

Work Programme

The scope of International IDEA’s Democracy Conflict and Security cross-cutting initiative is wide ranging, covering the factors triggering violence during electoral processes; the linkages between constitutional arrangements and the security sector; and the impact of illicit networks on political processes.
