This book offers a unique assessment of the G20’s development agenda and its potential to be an impactful actor in the global architecture of development cooperation. Representing two-thirds of the world population, 85 percent of economic output, 75 percent of global trade, and 80 percent of carbon dioxide emissions, the G20 embodies an overwhelming concentration of economic and political power, enhanced through regular meetings of heads of state and government. This position allows it the opportunity to play a significant role in ongoing multilateral policy processes, but also to further undermine universal development governance at the UN, already challenged by the Bretton Woods institutions, OECD and G8. Providing context and a history of the G20’s involvement in development governance, expert international contributors consider the outcome of major conferences, the perspectives of China, India, and the EU, the shift away from positions held by Western countries and the role of civil society. They also offer in-depth analysis of the G20’s engagement with issues concerning infrastructure, food and agriculture, taxation, macro-economic policy and the Sustainable Development Goals. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of development, international organisations and global governance.

As the world's premier forum for international economic co-operation, the G20 plays a critical role in helping to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Based on robust evidence and available data, this report examines how the G20's contributions to the global goals across key sectors are already making a difference, while also suggesting where it could go further in leading by example to support the global goals. Collectively, G20 members account for around 85% of global gross domestic product, 75% of world trade and 80% of global carbon dioxide emissions – to name just a few areas of the G20's influence. This report, commissioned by the Government of Japan in support of its 2019 G20 Presidency, takes stock of the G20's progress to date against its Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Abstract: The next G20 Summit will take place in Hamburg on 7/8 July 2017. Under the Chinese Presidency, the G20 adopted the Action Plan on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at the 2016 Summit in Hangzhou. The 2030 Agenda had been signed by heads of state and government during the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in 2015. The German Presidency is now planning a 'Hamburg update' of the G20 Action Plan. What kinds of contributions from G20 countries could boost the implementation of the ambitious 2030 Agenda? How can the G20 and UN processes be meaningfully linked, particularly with regard to policy coherence and accountability measures? (Autorenreferat)

The G20 needs to be bold and pragmatic if it is to deal effectively with the global economy’s big issues. Since its establishment in 1999, the G20 has become a key international forum. But it suffers from inherent design flaws and remains a work in progress. When Australia began its presidency of the 2014 summit in Brisbane, many commentators suggested that Australia’s chairing of the G20 would reinvigorate it. This timely book looks at what was achieved at the Brisbane Summit and what has happened in its wake. Crucially, it explores what role the G20 could and should play in dealing with such pressing global issues as international taxation, trade, energy and climate change. Expert contributors, many of them former inside players, assess the impact of the summit in the context of the year’s broader geopolitical challenges, including Russia’s temporary expulsion from the G8 and the failure of the US to ratify its governance reforms to the IMF. Taking stock, contributors question the effectiveness of the G20, and identify the reforms that are needed if it is to offer strong leadership in an integrated global economy. Together they ask, what is the future of the G20 and other ‘Gs’?

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Economics - Finance, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Mainz, language: English, abstract: At the beginning of this seminar paper, a background of the G20 with a brief historical and technical explanation of the group will be given followed by a chapter on the emergence of the group several years after its formation. The groups’ distinctive summit diplomacy will be explained before examining more closely the G20 agenda and its topics and outcomes. A critical reflection on the G20 will subsequently be expounded before giving a conclusion on the principal results. In the wake of the financial crisis in 2008, the G20 has developed to a primary multilateral forum. The G20 comprising developing, emerging and developed member countries is reflecting the new dynamics in global politics. The constellation of membership gives the G20 a greater representativeness than other groups and organizations. Filling the governance gap during the financial crisis, the group has proven itself as successfully acting as crisis committee when managing the global financial and economic crisis. Integral characteristics of its working framework are the “summit diplomacy” and the agenda politic. Its summits as part of a new diplomacy aim to reach a consensus within an informal forum instead of forcing a binding agreement in a formal forum . The G20 agenda has broadened over the years of its existence. From focusing on financial regulation in the course of the financial crisis, the group widened its agenda ranging from economic growth, trade to climate change. The transformation process of turning from a crisis committee into a permanent steering committee has revealed several issues and critics the G20 has to confront with.
