Book synopsis

The leaders' G-20 was born at a time of crisis and panic. In early October 2008, when the United States issued the invitation to the G-20 heads of state or government to assemble in Washington, D.C., on November 15, the world was facing the danger of a total collapse of the financial sector in the United States. With global trade and financial links having grown over the decades, particularly after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, a financial collapse in the largest economy - and the financial center - of the world would have brought down the entire world economy. Although one cannot measure the impact of the first G20 meetings on resolving the global financial crisis, most observers agree that decisive action by the US Fed and Treasury, along with G20 leaders' commitment did make a critical contribution to turning around expectations and arresting what was threatening to become a global economic free-fall. Five years after the inception of the Leaders level G20, it is anticipated that 2014 will be a year of overall global recovery. What next for the G20 Summit? Will these summits add ongoing value to global economic governance, or will they will become purely ceremonial gatherings, which continue to take place because of the inertia in such processes? Editors Kemal Dervis (Brookings Institution) and Peter Drysdale (Australian National University) assembled this book with the expectation that the leaders will indeed see 2014 as an opportunity to address longer term challenges and to transform the G-20 from a "crisis committee" into a "steering committee" for the world economy, making it part of a lasting and useful feature of global economic governance.
