This book provides the first analysis of the Trilateral Commission
and its role in global governance and contemporary diplomacy. In
1973, David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the
Trilateral Commission. Involving highly influential people from
business and politics in the US, Western Europe, and Japan, the
Commission was soon preceived as constituting an embryonic or even
shadow world government. As the first researcher to have accessed
the Commission's archives, the author argues that this study
demonstrates that global governance and international diplomacy
should be considered a product of overlapping elite networks that
merge informal and formal spheres across national borders. This
work has three immediate aims: to trace the background, origins,
purposes, characteristics, and modus operandi of the Commission; to
investigate the elite aspect of the Commission and how this related
to democracy; and to demonstrate how the Commission contributed to
diplomatic practices and policy-formulation at national and
international levels. The overall purpose of this book is to
evaluate the significance of the Trilateral Commission, with
particular focus on the implications of its activities on the way
we understand decision-making processes and diplomacy in modern,
democratic societies. This book will be of much interest to
students of the Cold War, US foreign policy, diplomacy studies, and
IR in general
