Any international gathering.
An informal international gathering which has a fairly sharp focus for discussion and is often held at high level. For example, the Regional Forum of the Association of South-East Asian Nations meets annually at foreign minister level to exchange views on regional security and has resisted external pressure to develop organizational features and concerted policies. Membership of such a forum provides opportunities for influence and intelligence-gathering while imposing few obligations on members and signalling little more than interest in its subject matter. As a result, the opportunity for participation is rarely missed. In many ways a forum is a functionalist conception. |
