The Ottawa Dialogue Policy Brief series is intended to stimulate discussion around key issues in the field of Track Two Diplomacy. They are published three times a year and are written by leaders in the field. The sixth Policy Brief of the series is written by Dr. Andreas Hirblinger.

This policy brief fleshes out how data-driven approaches can be leveraged within an inclusive, multitrack framework. This policy brief further presents a conceptual model for inclusive data-driven mediation support, consisting of two interrelated and complementary processes, namely vertical data sharing (between different tracks) and horizontal data dialogue (within the same track).
