The G20

Abstract

Formed in 1999 after the Asian Financial Crisis, the G20 claims to be the world’s pre-eminent steering committee on global finance. While it’s true that the G20 represents many of the world\u27s major economies, it also excludes 174 nations – so can it justifiably argue that it represent global interests?
