Sir Nicholas Bayne provides an important inside look at the G7/G8 summits by combining personal experience of the summit process with detailed academic analysis. He weaves a critical narrative of the annual summits with essays on their interaction with contemporary trends - interdependence, globalization and the end of the Cold War - and with key international institutions. Readers are provided with a valuable understanding of how the leaders of the major industrial democracies have responded to the transformation of the world economy during the late twentieth century and how far they have succeeded in reforming the international economic system at the beginning of a new millennium.
