本章认为，声称代表全球公众舆论的治理网络需要遵循两个相反的原则：一致性和开放性。为了探讨这一论点并观察其实际意义，作者将重点放在三边委员会（TC）上，该委员会汇集了几个有影响力的智库的领导人和来自商业公司，政治组织，学术机构和媒体公司的杰出人士。他们发现，TC是高度一致的，但过于同族通婚，集中在亲美领导人，跨国公司的成员和自由贸易的游击队员的独家集团。因此，TC是一个连贯但封闭的网络，非常强大但几乎没有代表性，这对于一个声称在国际领域促进使用“软实力”的网络来说是具有讽刺意味的。
This chapter argues that governance networks claiming to represent the global public opinion need to follow two opposing principles: coherence and openness. To probe this argument and observe its practical implications, the authors focus on the Trilateral Commission (TC), which brings together leaders of several influential think tanks and outstanding personalities from business corporations, political organizations, academic institutions, and media firms. They find that the TC is highly coherent but excessively endogamous, centering on an exclusive group of pro-US leaders, members of transnational corporations, and partisans of free trade. Thus, the TC is a coherent but closed network, very powerful but scarcely representative, which is ironic for a network that claims to promote the use of “soft power” in the international sphere.
