Established as an anti-crisis mechanism and designated by its members as a premier forum for international economic cooperation, the G20 transformed into a global governance hub. Since its first summit, the G20 has generated high expectations and has become a subject of research and assessment for analysts, mass media, and the general public. Each summit’s deliberations, decisions, and engagements have been scrutinized. Critics of the G20 claim it has lost relevance and was not capable of responding to the degradation of multilateralism, or the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis it induced. In this article, the logic of historical institutionalism is applied to explore the confluence of dynamics in ...

Analysis of these institutions’ effectiveness based on the functional paradigm enables to assess G8 and G20 contribution to the new mechanisms development by three groups of indicators: global governance functions implementation, including accountability and compliance with commitments; contribution to the key issues of global agenda and engagement with other international institutions. The analysis covers the period of G8 and G20 coexistence from 2008 to 2011. G8 documents issued from 1998 to 2008 were analyzed to compare its effectiveness before and after the start of the world economic crisis.Thus, the study contributes to building a quantifiable evidence base for an assessment of the G8 and G20 effectiveness and enables to forecast their future roles in the development of collective regulation. On the basis of the G8 and G20 docume...

At their four summits, hundreds of commitments have been made, including refraining from raising new trade barriers, cracking down on tax havens, reforming voice and vote at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, implementing higher and better quality capital requirements for banks, phasing out fossil fuel subsidies, cancelling debt in Haiti and stepping up efforts to reach the Millennium Development Goals. On the eve of the fifth summit in Seoul, it is important to ask what the G20 has done to take stock of the delivery of its growing number of promises.

To assess the Presidency effectiveness the author applies “supply-demand” model fine-tuned to achieve a balance of external conditions and national priorities of the country chairing informal summitry institutions, such as BRICS, G20 or G7/8. This analytical paradigm allows reveal to what extent the Presidency has managed to ensure: 1) a high level of response to the key global governance challenges in the summit agenda and decisions; 2) a balance between internal demand (domestic priorities) and external demand (other members’ interests and global governance challenges) in the Presidency priorities; 3) maximal use of the institution’s capabilities. Conformity of the role chosen by the Presidency (organizer, mediator, political leader, national representative) to the combination o...

Since then, views expressed in the literature on BRICS (expanded to include South Africa in 2010) have ranged from the harsh dismissal of BRICS as a meaningless investment banker’s acronym to its identification as a new power centre with a profound impact on the global economic order. The authors offer an updated, systematic assessment of BRICS’ evolving institutional dynamics, performance, and contribution to cooperation among its members, and to global governance as a whole. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, they identify the major achievements of each of the BRICS’ 13 annual summits through the three five-year h...

Accountability is a critical component in demonstrating the G20’s effectiveness, as implementing commitments ensures that promises made are promises kept. The question of accountability and effective follow-up is not new to the G20. Meeting for their first summit in Washington in November 2008, the leaders devoted a section of their declaration to ‘Strengthening Transparency and Accountability’. In it they emphasised the importance of implementing their commitments through detailed targets and timelines. In establishing an action plan to implement principles for financial and regulatory reform, the G20 tasked their finance ministers with the responsibility of ensuring that the commitments were “fully and vigorously implemented”.

However, this fragmentation does not mean there has been a decline in demand for global governance or reduced efficiency. On the contrary, it can be beneficial, positive and creative [Acharya, 2016]. Though essentially different in their missions and collective identities, the Group of 20 (G20), the BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum each has an important role to play in promoting the inclusiveness, legitimacy and efficiency of global governance. The distinctive features of these summit institutions include their volunteerism and their recognition of the role of major developing countries in world economic growth and global and regional governance. They are deeply embedded within the system of international institutions and are intensely engaged with international organizations (IOs). This engagement does not directly address the concerns over fragmentation. However, it does stimulate a division of labour which mitigates the risks of fragmentation and competition, facilitating coordination, coherence, accountability and effectiveness in global governance. This paper examines G20/BRICS/APEC engagement with international organizations in fulfillment of their global governance functions of deliberation, direction-setting, decision-making, delivery and global/ regional governance development. The study is carried out within the paradigm of rational choice institutionalism. It draws on quantitative and qualitative analysis of documents adopted by the G20, BRICS and APEC to trace dynamics and identify their preferred models of engagement with multilateral organizations. The article begins with a brief outline of the roles of the G20, BRICS and APEC in the system of global governance. Then it presents the analytical paradigm and methodology of the study. Applying the described methodology, it tests the key assumption that summit institutions can resort to a combination of "catalyst," "core group" and "parallel treatment modes" in their engagement with IOs and that their preferred choice reflects their mission and role in the system of international institutions which may change over time. Reviewing 1 The editorial board received the article in September 2017. This research was carried out with the financial support of the Russian Humanities Research Foundation within the framework of a research project entitled "Models of international institutions engagement in the process of multilateral governance in the areas of macroeconomic policy, financial regulation, international trade, investment and infrastructure," project № 15-07-00022.

Priorities of the international institutions’ member-states also shape demand for the collective actions. The institutions’ capacity for forging consensus and making collective decisions can be transformed into “global governance supply”. The country chairing an institution should align both types of demand (global risks and members positions on key global governance issues) with the capacity of the institution it chairs and its national priorities, interests and capabilities. It should also be guided by a comparative assessment of institutions’ effectiveness for dealing with specific global governance problems.For Russia, which will be chairing G20 in 2013, G8 in 2014 and BRICS in2015, a sequence of three presidencies presents a unique opportunity to influence global processes balancing exte...

The authors review the actions of the key international institutions in response to the pandemic undertaken in January-March 2020 reflecting on three questions. First, were the actions undertaken by the international institutions adequate, coordinated and timely? Second, could the outbreak have been contained if the global governance system was not in a state of severe strain, with many of the gaps exposed and reforms promised in the wake of the 2009 financial and economic crisis unfulfilled, its key causes unaddressed and unilateralism rising among its key members? In addition, was the COVID-19 crisis exacerbated by the crisis of multilateralism? Third, and most difficult, what is the future of global governance after the COVID-19 crisis ends? The analysis of international institutions performance three months int...

Анализ показал, что, несмотря на наличие противоречий внутри альянсов и общих интересов между членами БРИКС и некоторыми членами «семерки» по ряду вопросов, замещения сложившихся клубов ad hoc группами развитых и развивающихся стран не происходит. При этом, члены «семерки» более успешно использовали координацию в рамках своего клуба для разрешения внутренних противоречий и выработки общей позиции для совместного продвижения в «Группе двадцати». Соответственно, укрепление партнерства БРИКС, повышение эффективности собственных механизмов сотрудничества, усиление координации в «Группе двадцати», развитие сотрудничества с международными институтами и усиление взаимодействия в рамках сложившихся многосторонних институтов (МВФ, ВБ, многосторонние банки развития)...

The authors review trends in the use of catalysts and issue areas and identify commonalities and differences. The analysis then turns to external causes of compliance and focuses on demand for collective actions and members' collective power to respond and deliver on their pledges. Here the study explores whether the self-accountability mechanisms created by the institutions in response to the demand for effectiveness and legitimacy facilitate compliance. The article concludes by highlighting catalysts, causes of compliance and their combinations with the greatest power to encourage implementation, explaining trends in G20 and BRICS compliance performance. The data sets on G20 and BRICS differ in terms of scale. The G20 data set contains 1,511 commitments of which 114 have been monitored, and the BRICS data set contains 231 commitments of which 23 have been monitored.

The COVID-19 pandemic plunged the world into the worst global recession since the Great Depression, reversed progress across the full range of the SDGs jeopardizing the Agenda 2030 implementation. To build back better it is vital to assess the COVID-19 pandemic impact on economic growth and sustainable development and reflect on how to reenergize partnerships for saving the SDGs. This article aims to assess the COVID-19 pandemic impact on economic growth and sustainable development and offer recommendations on international cooperation and partnerships for saving the SDGs. It article reviews estimates of the triple crisis toll on the goals implementation. It then looks at the key international institutions’ initiatives to support developing countries in their response to the pandemic and associated economic sho...

Simultaneously, competition for digital technologies and solutions and the contest to influence norms, standards and regulatory mechanisms is escalating. The new regulatory mechanisms and approaches are concurrently being shaped in the key international institutions, including the United Nations (UN), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), the European Union (EU), the Group of 20 (G20) and the BRICS group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. This article presents analysis of the current cooperation on issues of digital economy regulation within the main international institutions. The study aims to assess the influence of the existing and emerging regulatory mechanisms o...
