    The development of the ‘Alliance of Civilizations’ concept in the Twenty-First Century is the latest phase in the evolving discussion of ‘intercultural dialogue’ at the UN-level. Indeed, three main phases can be observed, from the Dialogue of Civilizations in the early 1990s to the Dialogue Among Civilizations at the start of the Twenty-First Century, and most recently embodied as the Alliance of Civilizations since mid-2000. This report builds upon the discussion in (Bloom 2013a) to locate the Alliance of Civilizations discourse within this wider tradition of intercultural dialogue.
