dialoguescdm.org: the event platform of the Club de Madrid dialogues
dialoguescdm.org (“Dialogues CdM”) was a web domain used for event sites of Club de Madrid, the network of democratic former presidents and prime ministers also known as World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid (WLA-CdM). Each dialogue got its own subdomain – for example multilateralism2020.dialoguescdm.org for the 2020 Policy Dialogue co-organised with Bertelsmann Stiftung, and boston.dialoguescdm.org for a transatlantic policy lab on digital governance. This independent archive records what those dialogues were about.
