After a career with the Dutch government at the frontlines of the Marshall Plan, European integration and transatlantic relations, Van der Beugel pursued a more freestyle approach to diplomacy as a private citizen, most notably through his role as Secretary-General of the illustrious Bilderberg Meetings and his ties to the European and American foreign policy establishments. This book also traces his close friendship with Henry Kissinger, which provided him with a direct line to the White House.New Perspectives on the Cold War3.StatesmenNetherlandsBiographyDiplomatsNetherlandsBiographyEuropean federationInternational relationsHistory20th centuryDiplomatic relationsfastDiplomatsfastEuropean federationfastInternational relationsfastPolitics and governmentfastStatesmenfastNorth Atlantic RegionPolitics and governmentEuropeForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesForeign relationsEuropeNetherlandsForeign relationsEuropefastNetherlandsfastNorth Atlantic RegionfastUnited StatesfastBiography.fastHistory.fastStatesmenDiplomatsEuropean federation.International relationsHistoryDiplomatic relations.Diplomats.European federation.International relations.Politics and government.Statesmen.327.4920092Bloemendal Albertine1566276NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910796790503321Reframing the diplomat3836667UNINA
