We present the QCD analysis of D-parameter distribution in near-to-planar3-jet e+e- annihilation events. We derive the all-order resummed perturbativeprediction and the leading power suppressed non-perturbative corrections bothto the mean value and the distribution. Here non-perturbative corrections arelarger than in 2-jet shape observables, so that higher order non-perturbativeeffects could be relevant. Experimental data (not yet available) are needed inorder to cast light on this important point. The technique we develop aims atimproving the accuracy of the theoretical description of multi-jet ensembles,in particular in hadron-hadron collisions.Comment: 26 pages, 6 figures, JHEP class include
