The pluralized relations would include not only Europe but other significant countries from the Global South and elsewhere. Through more than thirty internal off-the-record Zoom sessions over the first three years, which included virtual panels in the Global Solutions Summits, the CWD developed a pluralized dynamic of its own based on the diversity of its participants, which now numbers eighty people from more than a dozen countries.
The series of thirty interactions led up to a new phase of “going-public” that began with twenty-one CWD principals participating in the GSS2023 in May of 2023 in Berlin. This constituted the first-ever in-person meetings of CWD participants. This new phase continued with an all-day in-person brainstorming workshop in Boston in July among seven CWD regulars to scope out work for the fall of 2023, which entailed public conferences in Shanghai and Beijing and in-person meetings in Washington, DC.
In 2024, CWD has moved into a third phase of multiple workstreams led by a variety of people so that CWD can become simultaneously more inclusive and generate greater impact. The three new workstreams are: Middle Power Diplomacy, International Debt Architecture, and International Principles and Norms for Human Security.
