"Advancing Democratic Governance in the Developing World: The Role of Conflict\, Complementarity\, and Col laboration in Fostering Democratic Ideals\, Practices\, and Institutions."  \;

The purpose of the 3rd International Conference on Dem ocratic Governance* is to explore the various dimensions – political\, eco nomic\, social\, spiritual\, and cultural – needed to advance and sustain democratic governance in the developing world. Specifically\, the conferen ce will bring together an international group of scholars and practitioner s from diverse disciplines (e.g.\, public administration\, political scien ce\, economics\, sociology\, business\, law\, journalism\, international r elations\, and others) to collectively examine the role of conflict\, comp lementarity\, and collaboration in fostering and sustaining democratic ide als\, practices\, and institutions. Although many developing countries hav e transitioned to some sort of democracy over the last several decades\, a ctual democratic consolidation and democratic governance have remained elu sive. In part\, this is because democratic ideals\, practices\, and instit utions have not fully taken root and become institutionalized in the day-t o-day practices of politicians\, public administrators\, civic leaders\, a nd citizens. As a result\, many developing countries struggle to adequatel y address conflict (in numerous forms)\, foster collaboration across secto ral\, jurisdictional\, and other boundaries\, and otherwise nurture comple mentary democratic forces. In turn\, ineffective practices for dealing wit h conflict\, complementarity\, and collaboration have led to poor performa nce\, opportunistic behavior\, corruption\, and other challenges that weak en the quality of governance and undermine democracy. \;

At this conference panels will address \; numerous themes and issues\, such a s: Democratic Ideals\, Practices\, and Institutions\; \;Conflict Resol ution and Collaboration as Democratic Ideals and Practices\; \;Context ual and Cultural Determinants of Conflict Resolution and Collaboration\;&n bsp\;Representation and Participation as Democratic Ideals and Practices\;  \;The State-Civil Society-Market Balance\; and \;Scenarios of Dem ocratization in the Developing World.
