Council on Foreign Relations

The American division of the Round Table

Summary

The CFR is a think tank describing itself as "dedicated to increasing America's understanding of the world and contributing ideas to U.S. foreign policy." The Council accomplishes this mainly by promoting constructive, closed debates and discussions, clarifying world issues, and publishing "Foreign Affairs." Founded in 1921 with about 4,000 members, it is currently one of the most powerful private organizations with influence on American foreign policy.

Membership

There are two types of membership - term membership available to people between 30 and 36, which lasts 5 years, and regular membership. It is only open to US citizens and permanent residents who have applied for citizenship. To join, an individual must be nominated by a current member and seconded by up to four other people. Members include former national security officers, professors, former CIA members, elected politicians and media figures.

Purpose

The Council was founded in 1921 shortly after the end of World War I. Several of the American participants in the Paris Peace Conference decided that it was time for more private American citizens to become familiar with the increasing international responsibilities, and obligations of the United States. This decision led to the creation of an organization dedicated to the continuous study of US foreign policy for the benefit of both its members, and a wider audience of interested Americans."

The Council publishes the quarterly journal FOREIGN AFFAIRS, and conducts regular meetings and seminars, from its official headquarters at The Harold Pratt House, 58 East 68th Street NYC, New York.
