Welcome to Madrid11.net

Our aim is to encourage global dialogue about how the threat from terrorism can be confronted through democratic means. Our origin is the International Summit on Democracy, Terrorism and Security sponsored by the Club de Madrid in March 2005. Its outcome, the Madrid Agenda, was a first attempt to formulate a set of principles based on the conclusions that were reached in more than one hundred panel and working group sessions. This dialogue needs to continue. To this end the Club de Madrid and openDemocracy have created this website, specifically dedicated to continuing the Madrid dialogue. Madrid11.net features a regular blog highlighting important developments and issues related to the site's themes of democracy, terrorism and security. Most importantly, Madrid11.net will serve as a major portal, allowing users to find information, educate themselves, and engage in constructive and - if necessary - controversial debate.
