Democracy & Governance

Democracy embodies responsive and responsible governance, rule of law, human rights, civic participation and peaceful transfers of power through electoral processes. Each of these underpins a peaceful and stable society. The Institute for Middle East Peace teaches democratic principles and democratization processes and techniques that are critical to both peacebuilding and effective governance. IMEP seeks to strengthen governance by supporting inclusive, accountable institutions and a robust civil society. These in turn uphold human rights, justice and the rule of law, and promote public participation in social and political processes.
