From the G8 to the G20: reforming the global economic governance system 1 Dr Claudia Schmucker , German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP), Berlin and 2 Katharina Gnath , Hertie School of Governance GARNET Working Paper No: 73/09 3 January 2010 ABSTRACT The paper reviews the thematic and institutional developments in the context of the G8 and G20 summits from November 2008 until the end of 2009. It first analyses the topics and results of the four summits at leaders’ level in Washington, London, L’Aquila and Pittsburgh. Subsequently, the paper examines three possible scenarios for the future relationship between the G8 and the G20 under the labels competition, cooperation or co-existence. It concludes that the G8 will not be abolished as a consequence of the newly-upgraded G20, but will instead become a more informal coordination forum ahead of the G20. The G8 will most likely focus on foreign and security issues, while the main financial and economic questions will be discussed within the new G20.
