'''The Arlington Institute''' ([[TAI]]) is best described by Jonathan Mowat:
:The Arlington Institute ([[TAI]]), is an apparent strategist in the use of postmodern coups. It was founded in 1989 by [[John L. Petersen]], in order, in his own words, "to help redefine the concept of national security in much larger, comprehensive terms by introducing the rapidly evolving global trends of population growth, environmental degradation, and science and technology explosion, and social value shifts into the industrial-military complex|traditional national defense equation." Among its board members are [[Jack DuVall]], the former US Air Force officer who is director of the [[International Center on Nonviolent Conflict in Washington, DC and [[James Woolsey]], the former Clinton administration CIA director and neocon spokesman who is currently the chairman of [[Freedom House]].

The need for an organization like the Arlington Institute, its website reports, "evolved from the bipartisan, eighteen-month long [[National Security Group]] project that Petersen co-founded and jointly led in Washington, DC, in 1986-7. That ad-hoc group of national security experts was brought together to explore and map the security environment that the successful candidate would have to operate within after the 1988 presidential campaign. Petersen also wrote the final report for the group, 'The Diffusion of Power: An Era of Realignment,' which became a strategy document used at the highest levels of the Department of Defense."

"In the early part of the 90s," it adds, "Petersen was engaged in a number of projects for the Department of Defense which functioned to build a systematic understanding of the major approaches that were then being used to study and anticipate futures. One notable project for the Office of the Secretary of Defense involved traveling throughout the world visiting the foremost practitioners of futures research to assess each methodology and attempt to develop a new, synthetic approach that drew from the best of the then current processes." Petersen became an advisor to a number of senior defense officials during this time, serving in various personal support roles to the undersecretary of the Navy and the chief of Naval Operations, among others.

Midway through the 1990s, it adds, "Petersen became convinced that humanity was living in an extraordinary time of change that would necessarily result in a major global shift [of power?] within the following two decades. TAI committed itself to playing a significant role in facilitating a global transition to a new world that operates in a fundamentally different way from the past."
