A Belfast-based think-tank, Democratic Dialogue (DD) describes itself as having the twin focus of "the continuing challenge of political accommodation in Northern Ireland, and the social and economic issues neglected during the region's 'troubles'." Established following the paramilitary ceasefires of the mid-1990s, the organisation drew inspiration from the independent Opsahl Commission of 1992-3.
