The Group of Twenty (G20)
Sobre este e-book
Cooper & Thakur explore a variety of major debates, including:
- Governance by self-selected groups versus mandated multilateral organizations
- the legitimacy of informal leadership
- the issue of the G20’s composition of both ‘solution’ countries and ‘problem’ countries
- the role of the emerging powers
- new conceptions of North-South relationships
This work offers a detailed examination of the ongoing shifts in economic power and the momentum toward global institutional reform, illustrating how the G20 has moved from a crisis committee to the premier global forum over this short but intense history, and mapping out its comparative advantages and key challenges ahead.
