International Forums and Clubs – definition, structure, examples of governmental and non-governmental forums and clubs
An International club (forum) or para-organization (from Greek “para” – analogous, similar to a traditional international organization) is a non-institutionalizedinformal association of countries (leaders of the world economy) and/or financial institutions established to discuss and elaborate decisions on the most important aspects of international economic and financial collaboration.
Any international para-organization (forum, club) possesses some characteristics of an organization but is not being technically the one due to the lack of:
1. A foundation agreement, charter, specified membership criteria,
2. International legal personality,
3. The right to take legally qualified decisions
International para-organizations are noted for more flexible patterns of relations between participants, and the lack of strict regulation (coordinating bodies functioning between the meetings, scientific and program committees, as well as a range of public events)
