Coalition

[1][2][3] According to A Guide for Political Parties published by the National Democratic Institute and the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights, there are five steps to coalition building.

The more effort parties place on this step, the more likely they are to identify strategic partners, negotiate a good deal and avoid some of the common mistakes associated with coalition building.

As the coalition partners begin working to implement their agreement, they will need to maintain good relations by continuing efforts to increase or sustain trust and communication among the member parties.

Regardless of whether it plans to move forward alone or in another coalition, it is important for each party to review and document lessons learned from each coalition-building experience.

Coalitions can often occur as unplanned responses to situations of danger, uncertainty, or extraordinary events, directed at interim objectives.

[7] For example, a trade union is a type of coalition formed to represent employees' wages, benefits, and working conditions.

Without this unity between employees, workers may be subjugated to harsh working environments and low pay due to no practical regulations.

[8] Often, organizations prefer to meet with members of their respective internal coalitions before implementing changes in the workplace to ensure support.

[7] In contrast, external coalitions consist of people that are members of different organizations who collaborate their efforts to achieve an overall objective.

[clarification needed] Most typical analyses of coalitions in politics deal with the formation of multiparty cabinets in parliamentary regimes.

The temporary collaboration of two or more separate parties with a set goal and common purpose can be viewed as a coalition in international relations.

Rationality, group dynamics, and gender are all contributing factors of coalitional behaviors in an international security framework.

[6] The expansion of assets accessible to member nations to perform military operations is a crucial attribute of coalitions.

A contemporary example is the United Nations coalition that intervened in the 2011 Libyan Civil War against Muammar Gaddafi.
