The Council for a Community of Democracies (CCD) was founded in 2001 as an nongovernmental partner organization of the Community of Democracies, an intergovernmental organization of democracies and democratizing countries established in 2000 to strengthen democratic norms and practices worldwide.[1] The CCD, which counts a number of high-profile neoconservative figures among its advisers and board members, touts U.S. exceptionalism while urging international cooperation in toppling undemocratic regimes.
.
According to CCD’s mission statement, “Our aim is to foster awareness of the importance of democracy both as a central organizing principle of official government foreign policy and as the basis of international alliances of non-governmental organizations devoted to the strengthening of democracy.”[2]
.
In 2010, CCD published the second edition of its
A Diplomat’s Handbook for Democracy Development Support.[3] According to the handbook’s website, “In recent years, diplomacy as practiced by many democratic nations has taken on more of a human face. Whereas once the conduct of diplomatic relations was strictly on a state-to-state basis, today, Ambassadors and diplomats are much more likely to engage the publics of the host countries and not exclusively government officials. Embassies and Consulates are ready vehicles and brokers promoting contact and communications between the peoples and nongovernmental organizations and groups of the sending and host countries. Democracy development and human rights are among the most active topics of such communications. …
A Diplomat’s Handbook for Democracy Development Support is meant to present a wide variety of case studies documenting and explaining specific country experiences. It also identifies creative, human, and material resources available to Missions, the ways in which Missions and diplomats have supported requests in the past, and describes how such support has been applied. A review of these experiences bears out the validity of our belief in our inter-dependence. It will hopefully also provide practitioners with encouragement, counsel, and a greater capacity to support democrats everywhere.”[4]
.
Funders of the hand.book initiative have included
Freedom House, the
National Endowment for Democracy, the
Smith Richardson Foundation, as well as the governments of the United States, Canada, Italy, Spain, Poland, India, Lithuania, Chile, and Morocco.[5]
.
.
In “The Real Axis of Evil,” a 2002 article published on the website of the Council for a Community of Democracies, Palmer writes, “In January 2002, when President Bush defined the ‘axis of evil’ as the dictatorships of Iraq, Iran and North Korea, he did not even mention Charles Taylor of Liberia. But this one-time warlord and escapee from an American prison is part of the real axis of evil—the larger group of 44 dictators in an arc that runs unbroken west from North Korea and China through the Middle East and south to sub-Saharan Africa. … Collectively, these 44 men (no women) are overwhelmingly the largest threat to American and global security and prosperity, and they do work together. Until they are all ousted, we will know no permanent peace.”[6]

The Houghton-Weinberg web, By
Laurie Bennett, October 7, 2010 at 8:08am: When Sidney Weinberg Jr. died this week,
The New York Times described him as part of a family dynasty at Goldman Sachs. …Weinberg joined Goldman in 1965 and headed its investment banking section for a decade. His brother and father were also senior partners. …Yet, like many senior Goldman execs, his reach extended well beyond the office. Weinberg was a member of two family dynasties in corporate America. His wife, Elizabeth, is a descendant of Amory Houghton Sr., the founder of Corning Inc., which was ruled by the Houghtons for generations. …
Elizabeth Houghton Weinberg’s brother, Amory “Amo” Houghton Jr., headed Corning for nearly two decades before being elected to Congress. Another brother, James Houghton, was also chairman and CEO of the company and served on its board until reaching the mandatory retirement age this year. …James Houghton, known as “Jamie,” is probably the most connected member of the current generation. His many titles include chairman of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and trustee of the Pierpont Morgan Library. He has also been a director of MetLife and Exxon Mobil, and a fellow of the Harvard Corporation. …The Houghton siblings’ father, Amory Houghton Sr., was U.S. ambassador to France during the Eisenhower administration. Their grandfather, Alonson B. Houghton, was also a congressman and a diplomat, serving as ambassador to Germany and the United Kingdom. …Yet for all their laurels, none of the above reached the pinnacle of celebrity in the Houghton-Weinberg dynasty. That honor goes to Katharine Hepburn, daughter of suffragette Katharine Martha Houghton. The actress’s mother was born in Corning, NY, daughter of Alfred A. Houghton and granddaughter of the first Amory Houghton Sr.
