1. Getting closer… Despite the recent publicity about Bill Clinton, the impact made on him by Carroll Quigley, and the Rhodes Scholars’ network (see Lobster 27 p. 19, for examples), the academic world remains almost wholly unaware of Quigley’s work. In their essay ‘The Limits of Influence: foreign policy think tanks in Britain and […]
The European Round Table of Industrialists (ERT) has been in the forefront of encouraging further EU integration for over twenty years. However, many Eurorealists appear unaware of the ERT. Intended to increase awareness, this article will merely sketch the ERT and its activities. Making no claims to originality, () the article briefly examines the ERT’s […]
