ㅁ Date : April 21~22, 2010
ㅁ Place : Brookings Institution, Washington D.C., The USA

Word of Invitation

This conference aims to generate new ideas for institutional innovations for G20 Summits, facilitating the transition of G20 summits from crisis management to a global steering committee for the world economy, and simultaneously meeting the tensions between effectiveness and representativeness legitimacy involved in the trade-offs between strengthened strategic leadership and greater inclusion. Short papers embodying new ideas and institutional innovations will be circulated in advance to facilitate brief presentations with maximum time being devoted to discussion, identifying the most promising proposals and indicating their further elaboration as specific, practical and feasible recommendations for adoption in future summit practice.

　　　　　　　　Chair: Colin Bradford, Brookings-CIGI
Brief presentations based on the CIGI-Brookings project on National Perspectives on Global Leadership (NPGL), which generated commentaries on national public perceptions from a dozen G20 countries of national and global leadership as portrayed in major national newspapers for the London G20, L’Aquila G8 and the Pittsburgh G20 summits. The purpose of this session is to extract new ideas for institutional innovations for G20 Summits to capitalize on the potential for strengthening communications between leaders and their publics as part of the process of restoring confidence to markets, trust in political leaders and faith in institutions as crucial elements of global leadership in a time of economic crisis and for the future.
