The Trilateral Commission

The Trilateral Commission is a global membership organization that for decades has brought together senior policymakers, business leaders, and representatives of media and academe to discuss and propose solutions to some of the world’s toughest problems. Founded in 1973, the Commission has for decades served as an important venue to incubate ideas and build relationships across sectors and the geographies of North America, Europe, and Asia. The countries represented in the Commission and its individual members share common values and a commitment to the rule of law, open economies and societies, and democratic principles. Traditionally focused on geopolitical trends and challenges, the Commission recently widened its aperture to also examine issues that affect the ability of individual countries to play traditional leadership roles in the international system.
