Wikipedia: "The CFR promotes globalization, free trade, reducing financial regulations on transnational corporations, and economic consolidation into regional blocs such as NAFTA or the European Union, and develops policy recommendations that reflect these goals."
Let me add, CFR does not really want strong regional so called blocs, as these would place their own restrictions on the free flow and accumulation of capital from everywhere.
CF DK CURRENT POST, RE CURRENT ATLANTIC DIPLOMATIC INITIATIVE: "I returned from Europe on Sunday, and I thought I'd be blogging this week about some extraordinary negotiations that I read about in a lengthy spread in Le Monde Diplomatique, a French weekly that addresses current affairs with a real sense of history. These talks between the EU and the governments of the United States and Canada are designed to create something called the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, which, as several articles explained in great detail, will be an unprecedented free trade zone within which governments lose most of their traditional power to regulate their economies." (my underlining)
This is a proposed bloc within which, as DK himself points out, member nations lose their internal economic, and thus also, political, integrity. While I would have welcomed such a bloc at the time of the American Rebellion, I think it is now merely a cover for another attempt to break down what may be left of nation states of the Atlantic.
I wish it were not the case. The CFR's predecessors did not start out as purely globalist organizations, but favored the West, specifically the English speaking West, against the rest, and had an English speaking peoples focus, especially under Rhodes.
That purely Western, mainly Anglo slant, all went by the board fairly quickly, apparently, at least well before 1914 even. Marrs, pb p.88.
