Career

The youngest professor of the Harvard Law School, Robert R. Bowie was a trusted confidant to John J. McCloy.

Deep political significance

Robert Bowie wrote the number 1 item of the Bilderberg 1966's agenda, the need to reorganise NATO.[1] Since that meeting, no one ever became NATO Secretary General without first attending at least one meeting of the Bilderberg.

As founder and first director of the Center for International Affairs at Harvard, Bowie presided over a group of scholars that included Edward Mason, Thomas Schelling, and Henry Kissinger. As director of the center, Bowie initiated a program to bring mid-career government officials from around the world to study at Harvard for a year, focusing on issues related to international affairs and foreign policy.[2]

Bowie directed the Center for International Affairs until 1972. In 1977, he returned to Washington to work as deputy director for national intelligence at the Central Intelligence Agency, a position he held until 1979. He retired from Harvard in 1980.
