Atlantic Community

Atlantic Community

The Atlantic Community is a German-American project to apply Web 2.0 ideas to transatlantic foreign policy strategy. Launched in April 2007 as a project of the Atlantic Initiative, the Atlantic Community aims to facilitate discussion between young thinkers and established members of the foreign policy realm in order to increase participation in a system that, in Europe, is often closed off to the public at large. The Advisory Board of the Atlantic Community is non-partisan, and includes journalist Marvin Kalb, UK Liberal Democrat Lord Wallace, and German diplomat Jürgen Chrobog as members.

Procedure

The main feature of the Atlantic Community is the [http://www.atlantic-community.org/index.php/policyworkshop/ Policy Workshop] , where new commentary is published from think tankers, journalists and decision-makers working in subjects which are relevant to the transatlantic partners. Recent writers include Eckart von Klaeden, the foreign-affairs spokesman of the German CDU/CSU political party, Karsten D. Voigt, the Coordinator for German-American Cooperation in the German Foreign Office, Julianne Smith of the American think tank CSIS, and current Chatham House director Robin Niblett. Members of the Atlantic Community then comment on these strategies and add their own ideas below the original article. The finished product, called an Executive Summary by the Atlantic Community editors, is a one-page policy memo in PDF format that summarizes the netroots suggestions and discussion from the community.
