Offering an extensive series of knowledge resources in the form of expert networks, policy proposals and organisational assistance with democratic reform, International IDEA seeks to strengthen global political processes. Based in Stockholm, Sweden, International IDEA has offices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Governed by a Council comprising Member States and assisted by a Board of eminent officials, International IDEA has been granted observer status at the United Nations. International IDEA’s areas of expertise lie specifically in constitution-building and electoral processes, assessing political parties, and supporting thorough examinations of democracy and gender.</p> <p>As part of the knowledge resources it generates, each year International IDEA publishes a substantial range of new titles in the areas of democracy assessment, conflict management, electoral processes, political parties, constitutional-building processes and gender. IDEA’s research seeks to promote accountability, efficiency and transparency for democratic processes and institutions, and to inform the debate surrounding political participation and capacity building. These publications are found at <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="http://www.idea.int/publications/">http://www.idea.int/publications/</a>, where titles are able to be browsed by topic, region, and language, then downloaded to disk. Databases containing information on the workings of democracy are able to be accessed through the site and include Voter Turnout, the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network, the Reconciliation Resource Network, and Quotas for Women.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="License_Usage">License Usage</span></h2> <p>In 2007, International IDEA allowed the application of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported licence</a> to selected titles within its publications.
