Globalization and summit reform: an experiment in international governance

This account of the 'L-20 project' describes and analyses a 3-year mobilization designed as an alternative to the political deadlocks preventing progress on critical global issues. The L-20 would include leaders from the existing G-countries, augmented by key regional powers such as China, Brazil, India, SouthAfrica and Egypt. The book traces the origins and findings of the project, which generated a broad array of cutting-edge research and over twenty substantive, action-oriented workshops involving hundreds of experts and practitioners around the world. The workshop series examined in detail the operational possibilities for a Leaders Group addressing a range of issues, including infectious disease control, climate change/global warming, energy security, nuclear proliferation, management of international financial crises, and the provision ofsafe drinking water and sanitation, to name just a few. Offers a unique insiders’ view of policy making on the global scale; proposes an alternative to current (and often ineffective) international organizations and protocols Addresses such hot button issues as global warming, poverty, and war in the developing world Features an afterword by Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada INDICE: Foreword.- Introduction: Confronting the Horsemen.- Genesis of theL-20 Project.- Underlying Assumptions.- Taking Aim - Focusing the Project.- Adjusting the Trajectory.- Engaging the United States - the Central Puzzle of Global Governance.- Global Fairness and the Search for Legitimacy.- Lessons Large and Small.- Making the L-20 a Reality.- L-20 Nuts and Bolts.- Next Steps.- Back to the Horsemen.- Afterword.
