The Council on Foreign Relations is almost certainly the World's most influential agency for the promotion of global governance, so this self-promotional video is worth a view.
The Council on Foreign Relations is an outgrowth of Cecil Rhodes' Secret Society, which aimed to extend the British Empire to the entire globe. Carroll Quigley, Bill Clinton's admired history tutor at Georgetown University and the official historian of the the Secret Society (or the Rhodes-Milner Group as it came to be known), explained the origins of the CFR in his sweeping history of the modern era, Tragedy and Hope:
At the end of the war of 1914, it became clear that the organization of this system had to be greatly extended. . . . Lionel Curtis . . . established, in England and each dominion, a front organization to the existing local Round Table Group…This front organization, called the Royal Institute of International Affairs, had as its nucleus in each area the existing submerged Round Table Group…in New York it was known as the Council on Foreign Relations, and was a front for J. P. Morgan and Company in association with the very small American Round Table Group. The American organizers were dominated by the large number of Morgan 'experts'… The Round Table for years (until 1961) was edited from the back door of Chatham House grounds in Ormond Yard, and its telephone came through the Chatham House switchboard (Tragedy and Hope: 951-952).
