Résumé

We are now in the era of the G8, although the G7 still exists as a grouping for finance ministers and central bank governors. Why do G7 finance ministries and central banks co-operate? What are the implications of this for the power of the United States and the abilities of the other six states to exercise leadership? What influence do the G7 have on global financial governance? How much authority do they possess and how is that authority exercised?

This is the first major work to address these fundamental questions. It argues that to understand the G7's contribution to global financial governance it is necessary to locate the group's activities in a context of 'decentralized globalization'. It also provides original case study material on the G7's contribution to macroeconomic governance and to debates on the global financial architecture over the last decade. The book assesses the G7's role in producing a system of global financial governance based on market supremacy and technocratic trans-governmental consensus and articulates normative criticisms of the G7's exclusivity.

For researchers in the fields of IR/IPE. postgraduate students in the field of international organization and global governance, policy-makers and financial journalists, this is the most comprehensive analysis of the G7 and financial governance to date.
