Global governance and the new rules for multilateral consensus. The G20 under the spotlight

Journal Title: Conjuntura Austral: journal of the Global South - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 10

Abstract

Based on the idea that international organizations are strongly determined by their historical context, this paper analyses the impact of the g20 on global governance. In so doing, it compares the post II world war order, characterized by formal multilateral institutions, and the new global order, where minilateral institutions tend to predominate. Findings show the emergence of a new way of building global consensus, in which democratic legitimacy criteria are enhanced whereas decision making effectiveness is still a pending issue.
