Track Two

The term 'track two' refers to informal, unofficial interaction outside the formal governmental power structure, providing the means for historically confliction groups to improve communication and gain a better understanding of each other's point of view. In so doing, it reduces anger, fear or tension, and facilitates the resolution of substantive conflicts.
