Exposure

Unlike most other years, the complete list of participants in the World Economic Forum's Global Leaders for Tomorrow program for the year 2000 is available. The previous year's cadre is listed at WEF/Global Leaders for Tomorrow/1999. The following year at WEF/Global Leaders for Tomorrow/2001.

Examples

• Ann Beeson US civil rights activist. Executive Director of U.S. Programs at the Open Society Foundations 2007-2011.
• Oleg Deripaska. Russian billionaire.
• Chrystia Freeland. Canadian politician who adopts ‘America First’ Foreign Policy (according to the US State Department)
• Charles Kennedy was a Leader of the British Liberal Democrats from 1999 to 2006.
• Ivan Miklos. Slovakian Minister of Fiance from 2002.
• Joshua Cooper Ramo. One of Henry Kissinger's proteges. Proponent of grand deal with China.
• Arundhati Roy Indian author with social conscience. The WEF invitation might have been an attempt to being her fully into the 'champagne socialist' fold. She later became an activist for the anti-globalization/alter-globalization movement.
