N2  - Political parties and organizations need to have the  capacity to both compete and cooperate. Dialogue among  political parties usually takes place within democratic  institutions such as national parliaments. Yet  parliamentary dialogue alone cannot always meet the need  for genuine exploration of consensus or compromise.  Correspondingly, this Guide focuses on the need for more  dynamic spaces of dialogue between political parties.  Building on case studies from different countries, the  Guide will enable actors to: assess the general  conditions for political party dialogues; build trust;  convene and organize dialogues; set their goals and  prepare their agenda; facilitate their smooth evolution  through various stages; ensure meaningful results and;  last but not least, foster the implementation of the  understandings and agreements reached
