The expansion of the Royal Institute of International Affairs |
|
|
|
Since its inception, the Royal Institute of International Affairs—of which the Council on Foreign Relations, too, traces its origins from the 1919 Paris Peace Conference where Anglo-American scholars convened to build their framework for world order following the devastating results of World War I—has, over the years, opened affiliated branches throughout the commonwealth of Nations.
Similar think-tanks have successively emerged, namely the Australian Institute of International Affairs, the South African Institute of International Affairs, the Indian Council on World Affairs, the Pakistan Institute of International Affairs, the Singapore Institute of International Affairs and the Canadian International Council.
In an interview recorded in 1974, Carroll Quigley, an American historian and theorist of the evolution of civilizations, gives his narrative concerning the gradual expansion of this think-tank's sphere of influence in the first half of the twentieth century and how it has incrementally exerted power in international affairs via its cohorts. |
