Les femmes au parlement : au-delà du nombre	Le manuel Les Femmes au parlement – Au-delà du nombre est une contribution de International IDEA au renforcement de la particiption des femmes à la vie politique. Il se veut un outil pratique. Des universitaires, des militantes et des personnalités politiques proposent des analyses du statut des femmes qui participent au pouvoir en Afrique francophone et dans d’autres régions ainsi que des facteurs qui déterminent ce statut. Ce manuel présente divers aspects tels que les systèmes électoraux, les quotas et les mécanismes auxquels les femmes peuvent avoir recours pour influencer le processus politique. Des études nationales décrivent les expériences de femmes qui ont participé aux législatures de divers pays du monde, notamment francophones.
Reconciliation after Violent Conflict	Reconciliation after Violent Conflict presents a range of tools that can be, and have been, employed in the design and implementation of reconciliation processes. Most of them draw on the experience of people grappling with the problems of past violence and injustice. There is no ‘right answer’ to the challenge of reconciliation, and so the Handbook prescribes no single approach. Instead, it presents the options and methods, with their strengths and weaknesses evaluated, so that practitioners and policy-makers can adopt or adapt them, as best suits each specific context.
La réconciliation après un conflit violent	International IDEA a pour vocation de promouvoir la démocratie durable dans le monde. Cela implique que l’on s’intéresse à tous les défis particuliers liés à la démocratisation après un conflit violent. Cela peut inclure la reconstruction de la politique et de la société par les acteurs nationaux, ou la prise en compte temporaire de la construction de la démocratie par les Nations Unies ou d’autres organismes. Dans les deux cas, le sujet de la réconciliation, à savoir le processus de prise en charge de l’héritage de la violence passée et de la reconstruction des relations brisées qu’elle a engendrées, fait l’objet d’un intérêt croissant. Il est aussi urgent de trouver de meilleurs outils pour aborder ce problème, qui est l’un des plus difficiles de l’après-violence. Ce manuel est une réponse à une telle urgence. Il n'y a pas une seule solution au défi de la réconciliation, le manuel ne prescrit pas d'approche unique. Au lieu, il présente les options et les méthodes et évalue leurs forces et leurs faiblesses, de sorte que les praticiens et les décideurs politiques peuvent les adopter ou les adapter, à chaque contexte spécifique.

Voting from Abroad: The International IDEA Handbook (2007)	The constitutions of many countries guarantee the right to vote for all citizens. However, in reality, voters who are outside their home country when elections take place are often disenfranchised because of a lack of procedures enabling them to exercise that right. Voting from Abroad: The International IDEA Handbook examines the theoretical and practical issues surrounding external voting. It provides an overview of external voting provisions in 115 countries and territories around the world, including a map illustrating the regional spread.
Democracy, Conflict and Human Security: Further Reading (Volume 2) (2006)	For many across the world, democracy is in a crisis of legitimacy and credibility. The idea that people have the right to control their government and that a government is legitimate only if and when it is controlled by the people has won almost global recognition, hardly matched by any other world view in modern history. It transcends cultures, religions and languages; it takes multiple forms and survives in the most inhospitable environments. However, the way in which the idea of democracy is translated into practice can leave much to be desired. In a world characterized by rising inequality, democratic systems will be judged on how they include and deliver to constituent populations. This book, a companion volume to Democracy, Conflict and Human Security: Pursuing Peace in the 21st Century, addresses the nexus between democracy, conflict and human security in a way which recognizes that this is highly political, not technical, terrain. It places at centre stage the fundamental need for democratic practice, and reminds us that in every society, North and South, the democratic project is a long-term, ongoing one. This book is part of IDEA’s efforts to contribute to a major ongoing debate and, hopefully, to the strengthening of a democratic practice that responds to the quests for human dignity and development. This publication contains specific studies which were contributed to the debate, from diverse experiences and contexts. This volume complements and enriches the first volume in two ways: by providing perspectives by leading scholars, analysts and policy makers, and by offering a more in-depth look at critical themes and case studies.
Democracy, Conflict and Human Security: Pursuing Peace in the 21st Century (Volume 1) (2006)	Democracy, Conflict and Human Security: Pursuing Peace in the 21st Century tackles questions on how democracies can deliver social and economic rights, include all citizens in decision making and reduce poverty. This new publication is a two-volume set that explores ways in which democratic practice can contribute to the management of contemporary conflicts and promote the realization of security and development objectives. Volume I contains analysis and recommendations based on wide-ranging research and evaluation of lessons learned from democratization processes, past and ongoing. Volume II presents essays and case studies by leading specialists from around the world that further develop the themes and findings presented in Volume I. Democracy, Conflict and Human Security argues that effective democracy building moves beyond the process of elections and technical assistance and examines how democratic practice relates to human security. Governments may hold free elections but fall short in other democratic measures such as the separation of powers, the freedom of the press, and guarantees of human rights. These two volumes are aimed at practitioners, parliamentarians, politicians, government officials and policy makers concerned with problems such as social exclusion, the quality of democracy and new forms of authoritarian regimes. They are intended to be a basis for continued debate, dialogue and options for change.
Electoral System Design: the New International IDEA Handbook	The choice of electoral system can have a significant impact on the wider political and institutional framework: it is important not to see electoral systems in isolation. Their design and effects are heavily contingent upon other structures within and outside the constitution. Successful electoral system design comes from looking at the framework of political institutions as a whole: changing one part of this framework is likely to cause adjustments in the way other institutions within it work.
La conception des systèmes électoraux : un manuel de International IDEA	La Conception des Systèmes Électoraux, un manuel de International IDEA publié par International IDEA,est un guide d’accès facile, conçu à l’intention des responsables politiques ainsi que des fonctionnaires chargés de l’administration des élections. Il peut également constituer un instrument didactique. Ce manuel recense les divers facteurs à considérer avant de concevoir ou de modifier un système électoral. A partir d’exemples concrets, le lecteur découvrira pourquoi un certain pays a choisi un système plutôt qu’un autre et comment un pays voisin a modifié le système dont il avait hérité. Quels sont les systèmes les mieux adaptés dans tels contextes historiques, culturels, économiques, sociaux? Quels sont les moyens de favoriser la participation électorale, d’intégrer des minorités ou de recréer la confiance auprès d’un électorat sceptique ou déçu? Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles nous avons tenté de répondre.

Assessing the Quality of Democracy: A Practical Guide (2008)	This Practical Guide presents International IDEA’s State of Democracy (SoD) assessment Framework. Developed for public use around the world, the SoD Framework has been applied in some 20 countries worldwide since its first launch in 2000. The Framework is different from other methodologies because its comprehensive assessments are led and owned by local actors, and move away from the practice of ranking democratic performance and making external judgements. It combines a commitment to the principles of democracy with dialogue, and looks beyond the formal existence of democratic institutions and focuses, more importantly, on their performance. The Practical Guide also links assessment to reform and in doing so, highlights achievements and challenges as well as lessons learnt from previous assessment teams’ experiences. Others seeking to apply the Framework in their countries stand to benefit greatly from the experiences, lessons and insights shared from the State of Democracy Network--a community of practice that has applied the SoD assessment Framework in their countries and regions. The Practical Guide also offers guidance on sources and standards of good practice.
