Our aim is to encourage global dialogue about how the threat from terrorism can be confronted through democratic means.

terrorism.openDemocracy (toD) is one of the long-term products of the International Summit on Democracy, Terrorism and Security sponsored by the [Club de Madrid](http://www.clubmadrid.org/?ref=opendemocracy.net) in March 2005\. Its outcome, the [Madrid Agenda](http://summit.clubmadrid.org/agenda/the-madrid-agenda.html?ref=opendemocracy.net), 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.

To this end the Club de Madrid and [openDemocracy](//) created this website, specifically dedicated to continuing the Madrid dialogue. Initially housed at www.Madrid11.net, toD publishes hard-hitting content - ranging from our daily [security briefings](https://www.opendemocracy.net/terrorism%5Fopendemocracy%5Ftags/security%5Fbriefings) to more probing news analysis, opinion and debates - related to the site's themes of democracy, terrorism and security. toD will serve as a major resource and forum, allowing users to find information, educate themselves, and engage in constructive and - if necessary - controversial debate.
