Abstract
The Group of Twenty (G20) advanced and emerging economies was established in 1999, in the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, to promote global financial stability. It was only in response to the global financial crisis of 2008, however, that the G20 emerged as a major player on the world stage. With the potential to alter the international order almost by stealth, the role of the G20 in multilateral diplomacy merits deeper examination than it appears to be receiving. Survival invited David Shorr, a program officer at the Stanley Foundation, and Thomas Wright, executive director of studies at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, to explore these issues in an exchange of letters.
