Fourth Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy
Advancing Democracy: Justice, Pluralism, and Participation
Welcome to the final report on the Fourth Assembly of the World Movement for Democracy, which took place at the International Convention Center on April 2-5, 2006, in Istanbul, Turkey.
The Fourth Assembly brought together a richly diverse group of participants representing every region of the world in the spirit of shared democratic values. They taught and learned from each other, build collaborative relationships, and thereby strengthen the World Movement as a network committed to mutual support, exchange, and cooperation.
Nearly 600 democracy activists, practitioners, trade unionists, scholars, policy makers, and others engaged in promoting democracy around the world.
The Fourth Assembly mainly was composed of discussion workshops to maximize opportunities for participation and exchange. There were no declarations or policy resolutions issued by the Assembly. A “Democracy Fair” featured an exhibition area, a technology training center, a video screening room, and a “town hall” (in which participants educated each other about their respective causes and generate support for them).
The report was prepared by the Secretariat of the World Movement at the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). It is based on the proceedings of the Assembly and the various workshop reports.
