The G20 and the United States: Opportunities for More Effective Multilateralism
Amid many continuing questions as to the capacity, agenda, and very legitimacy of the G20, and with another summit looming in Seoul in November 2010, The Century Foundation has commissioned a paper of Stewart Patrick, director of the international institutions program at the Council on Foreign Relations, which examines the relevance of the G-20 framework in a web of existing multilateral institutions—the United Nations, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund—and of smaller multilateral groupings. The G20 and the United States: Opportunities for More Effective Multilateralism argues the G20 as far more than another talk-shop, but a major new development for effective international policy making.
