Mission Statement
The Streit Council for a Union of Democracies works toward better-organized and stable cooperation among the experienced democracies as the key for more effective US engagement in world affairs. A non-partisan, independent organization, it carries into the twenty-first century the traditions and principles which gave rise to the Federal Union movement. It builds on transatlantic and other inter-democracy institutions, supporting their treaty commitments to grow into ever wider membership and deeper integration, and their underlying vision rooted in democratic federalism. It does this principally by promoting research and education, and by facilitating public discourse and awareness on democracy, federalism, Atlanticism, and the organization of inter-democracy relations.
