This book focuses on institutional, policy, and political innovations to make the G20 the bona fide premier forum for international economic cooperation rather than just a crisis management committee. It is hoped that the book will provide useful ideas for officials and experts and facilitate a larger public dialogue around the world, which will help generate momentum for the transformation of the G20 into a more inclusive, effective and enduring form of summitry.
