The use of meetings of heads of state or heads of government for diplomatic or propaganda purposes. There are two main kinds: ad hoc summits, which are called as the occasion seems to demand, and are well illustrated by the Camp David summit on the Middle East in September 1978; and serial summits, which usually have their origin in ad hoc summits but then become part of a regular series, as with the meetings of the European Council or the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings (CHOGMs). Summitry has very ancient origins but did not acquire this title until developed by the press following use of the word ‘summit’ by Winston Churchill in the course of a speech at Edinburgh in February 1950. See also Air Force One; communiqué; Commynes; declaration (sense 1). |
