Summary:

"Nonformal dialogues offer complementary approaches to formal dialogues in national peacemaking efforts in contexts of conflict. As exemplified by the nonformal dialogues in Myanmar, Lebanon, and Nepal examined in this report, nonformal dialogues are able to engage a broader range of stakeholders, including those marginalized or excluded from formal processes, and to extend their work over time, evolving to reflect changing societal concerns. They can provide valuable information and policy recommendations to governmental bodies and international organizations and are useful to sustain engagement when more formal processes have stalled"--Publisher's web site.
