Stimulating trade liberalization after Seattle: G7/8 leadership in global governance

The series uses the annual G8 Summit of the world's richest governments to stimulate an anthology exploring the central themes in the emerging global governance. Based on the 2000 meeting in Okinawa, Japan, Canadian, British, US, and Japanese political scientists and economists here take as their starting point the changing international economic order as a whole and the efforts by a wide range of actors to determine the content and impact of the organization's agenda. They also highlight new directions in the global economy and its governance, and the international order and broad array of international institutions that are competing and cooperating to shape it.
