Globalisation:British American Project: Undermining the left
This page is part of a project titled Globalisation: British American Project
Jonathon Shafi
Importantly, the British American Project (BAP) plays a significant role in elite networking, and compliments concretising tranatlantic elite relationships with an anti-left agenda.
This is apparent from it's inception, with its major source of funding coming from the Philadelphia Trust, an organisation known for its support and ideological and prctical backing for right wing movements. [1]
The intent of the BAP is made clear and overt by some of its leading members who describe it as a transatlantic link building exercise between elites in both the US and UK. One insider sees its objective as 'grooming' potential leaders and to promote the US/UK relationship in the context of the alliances 'leading role' in global political affairs. [2]
The British American Project shares ties with key sections of the British establishment including Chatham House, Royal United Services Institute and and the US embassy in London. <ref>Duncan Parrish
The critical question in relation to summarising and examining the anti-left agenda is how does the BAP influence power, reside in power and operate around key political questions and contemporary fault lines.
