A World Federalist’s Perspective
Etienne Bowie
Private citizen diplomacy isn’t a new idea. This style of diplomacy was only accessible to wealthy business managers and industrial magnates. After the election of Donald J. Trump, the people of the world are now taking another look at the rebooting what is now being called Track II Diplomacy (T2D).
The goal of T2D isn’t trying to replace traditional forms of state relationships and deal-making, but seeks to create a new layer to how business is done between nations, and in time the world federal government. As world federalists, we believe that citizen involvement in geopolitics is necessary.

In order to continue with my increasingly unmanageable workload, I’ve hired CCI’s first staff person since 2009. Maddelyn Bryan, a recent graduate from the University of San Francisco joined CCI on July 1 to train with me as CCI increases its programmatic work beyond what we’ve done during the past ten years.
CCI, to my knowledge, is the only organization in the field of citizen diplomacy between the US and Russia that has remained intact and working since the beginning of the 1980s. By the end of the ‘80s, other organizations closed their doors. We switched from plain goodwill travel programs to training young Russians how to survive in the radically different conditions of the 1990s. This was when the new Russia literally fell apart…
