The Forum is concerned with the contribution that multi-level government can make to democracy building and democratic consolidation. • The Forum assists in democracy promotion in fragile states or regions in post-conflict situation. • It provides innovative solutions to challenges posed by multi-level governance in federal, devolved, and decentralized countries. • It focuses on the key issues of local empowerment and federal structures. • It provides expertise that bridges the worlds of academic research and real-world practice. The Forum runs learning events on federalism, gives technical advice on democratic governance and produces publications for academics and practitioners of federalism. Its activities involve working with government officials[2] as well as academic experts,[3] young professionals,[4] journalists[5] and other civil society organizations. The Forum works globally – in the Americas, in Europe, in Africa, and in Asia-Pacific. Activities
HistoryThe Forum was founded in 1999 following the First International Conference on Federalism in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec. The event drew then world leaders such as U.S. President Bill Clinton, Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, and Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo. Four consecutive International Conferences were organized in Switzerland, Belgium, India, and Ethiopia. Over the years, the Forum has expanded the focus of its work to include not only established federal countries but also countries in post-conflict situations adopting federal forms of governance and those involved in processes of devolution and decentralization.
