Organizational Structure and Funding

Following its statue, new members will have to be co-opted by current members. The Atlantik-Brücke unites members from political parties, the military, business and interest groups, financial institutions and banks of both the U.S. and Germany. It is widely regarded as a major political and economic pressure group and earns criticism due to its far reaching membership, which includes active politicians and elected representatives. The Atlantik-Brücke is affiliated with the Council on Foreign Relations.
