Many observers of globalization have come to recognize a new class of people who are generally well-educated, trained professionals in the business field, who have developed a kind of global common culture. Harvard University Professor Samuel Huntington has characterized this group of global professionals as the "Davos culture," named after the Swiss luxury resort locale of an annual, informal meeting of very select and elite businessmen, financiers, and heads of states. Although the participants at these meetings do not represent governments, make policy decisions, or negotiate any agreements in any official capacity, they do share ideas and put forth proposals pertaining to global economic concerns. Huntington sees these individuals as drivers of global economic processes and as a force for pursuing the business agenda of further globalization.
