Book excerpt: An eminent international line up of experts in law, political science, economics and history examine the dynamics of the European Union's (EU) development as a collective member of the G8 and G20.

Part One makes an introduction into the topic of the EU representation in the G8 and the main concepts explored in the book. Part Two presents an analytical framework for exploring the EU actorness in global governance institutions. Part Three examines the transformation of the G7/G8 system, the emergence of the G20 as a leader's forum and the EU role in the process. Part Four provides an in-depth analysis of the EU contribution to critical cases of global governance including issues of energy, finance, development, peace and security. Part Five analyses the main trends in leadership and models of engagement. Contributing to key contemporary debates, this book is a lucid replenishment to the existing literature on global governance and an excellent resource to studying the EU's role as a global actor.

Book excerpt: This paper analyses the degree of European Union (EU) actorness within the Group of Eight (G8). Drawing on the work of Jupille and Caporaso, actorness is probed along the criteria of 'recognition', 'authority', 'autonomy' and 'cohesion'. We argue that the vague and informal nature of the G8 is conducive to EU participation in the summit. The system of EU representation within the G8 can be seen as a case of constructed ambiguity because the ambiguity that is inherent in the EU's participation has been institutionalized within the G8. When assessing the above criteria, actorness of the EU as a whole remains questionable. However, recognition, authority, autonomy and most of all cohesion differ considerably per context. We suggest that the 'independence' aspect of 'autonomy' constitutes a weakness in the conceptuali-sation of actorness and may better be replaced by 'proactivity'. Finally, on the basis of our findings it can be tentatively hypothesised that a number of factors condition EU actorness in the G8, including the degree of integration at EU level, the degree of politicisation and whether or not an EU member state is acting as G8 host.

Download or read book The Role of the G8 in International Peace and Security written by Risto Penttilä and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Adelphi Paper is the first concise yet comprehensive analysis of the role of the G8 in international peace and security. It argues that the G7/8 has a long and impressive history in the field of international security. The G7/8 has, for example, spearheaded the introduction of "low politics" and "soft security" to the top table of great power diplomacy and integrated Japan and, later Russia, into the realm of Western security discussions. In questions of war and peace the G8 does not command the legitimacy of the UN Security Council but, for the international community, is a more acceptable vehicle than unilateral action. As such the G8 can be seen as a note-worthy "second best" option after the UN Security Council. This Paper further argues that China should be admitted into the G8 first as an observer and later as a member. There is also a strong argument for the European Union to have one seat at the G8 even if such a change does not seem realistic today. The G8 bears great resemblance to the 19th century Concert of Europe. Whether it will assume a similar role in the 21st century depends in the final analysis on whether the United States welcomes such a role for the G8.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This project analyses the role of the European Union in the informal setting of the G8 summit. The G8, as an instance of informal governance, forces us to reconsider existing conceptualisations of the EU's role or power. The G8 summit is not about formal agreements, but about fostering mutual understanding and cooperation through the building of an identity network. Consequently, we require an understanding of power that investigates if and how the EU participates in this network. To this end, this study employs an inductive approach, combining several different conceptual and empirical perspectives. This approach culminates in the general conclusion that the informality of the G8 allows for a flexible role of the European Union, in parallel yet subordinate to its member states. As an undefined participant, the European Commission was able to partake in the summit almost like a regular summit member, but it never really became one, because it did not have to. Consequentially, because the EU never really had to resolve its internal struggles of international representation, weak EU autonomy and erratic EU cohesion continue to affect the EU's role at the summit. Consequently, EU power in the G8 differs per level. While the EU is not quite a member on the formal level, they do participate informally in all elements that make up the summit. But if we look closer, at the identity level, we see that although the EU participates, its post-sovereign identity prevents it from being a true member of the core group."--Samenvatting auteur.

Download or read book The G20 written by Peter I. Hajnal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revised and updated edition presents detailed analysis of the history and current state of the G20, and the challenges it faces. The emergence of the G20 was the result of calls for full inclusion of major developing and other systemically important countries and to reflect new global economic and political realities. The growth of Chinese power, growing significance of other major developing countries and new concerns concerning anti-globalization and rising protectionism in the West have all resulted in important changes to the dynamics of the institution. The suspension of Russia’s membership in the G8 has also necessitated a change in G7/G20 dynamics and the G20’s processes, agenda priorities and role in global governance. Providing a historical overview and analysis of the evolving agenda, methods of performance evaluation, relationship with structured international organizations and other external actors, Hajnal’s text is an authoritative work of history, analysis and reference on the G20 and also G7/G8/G20 reform. This book is an essential source for researchers and students focusing on the G20, international organizations and global governance, and more generally for scholars in the fields of political science, economics, and finance.
