 In the definitions we use, democracy is a way to govern a nation, to rule a country based on the control by the citizens, by the population of the exercise of whatever public authority. And there is also the issue of equality in the exercise of that control, equality amongst citizens. In the whole of that process, delicate process, of course, exchange of ideas, peaceful exchange of arguments is crucial. And that's the reason why dialogue, well-informed, good dialogue is so essential, is at the core of all democratic processes. This newsletter focuses on the importance of dialogue, the quality conditions you should put to dialogue and also of course the essential role played by dialogue in situations where peace is under pressure. Interparty dialogue leading to new constitutional provisions, dialogue leading to peace, to settle violence, for instance, are examples described in this newsletter. I think also that in mature democracies, parts of the problems we are facing, the challenges that democracy is confronted with are related to an absence of dialogue, to an absence at least of a well-informed dialogue. The quality of dialogue is indeed essential to tackle issues like populism, like hate, like hate speech is very important. And so this newsletter gives some good recommendations to improve the quality of dialogue as a way to improve the quality of democracy.
