National Perspectives on Global Leadership: Canada
Andrew F. Cooper reflects on the relevance of the Huntsville G8 Summit and Toronto G20 Summit and their implications for Canada.
The G20 and the Post-Crisis Economic Order
The G20 has shown itself capable of robust action in the wake of the international financial crisis. Now it needs to advance its role beyond the immediacy of crisis response. In the third instalment of CIGI’s G20 papers series, Distinguished Fellow Andrew F. Cooper and Senior Fellow Colin Bradford Jr. examine the G20 process as it moves from crisis response to economic management.
G20 Membership and Process: The Unspoken Issues
Since November 2008, the G20 appears to have consolidated its position as the hub of economic governance. Moving from its initial role as an improvised "crisis buster," the forum has begun to take shape as a global "steering committee." Yet from its origins, the G20 has suffered from some deficiencies concerning its size and geographic make-up. Given the scope of the G20’s ambition, refining the structure so that it combines a core membership with some degree of accessibility will only enhance its credibility.
International Affairs: Special Issue
International Affairs, a leading journal of international relations, is committed to excellence in scholarship and accessibility in style, combining policy relevance with an academic, in-depth analytical approach to contemporary world politics.
Volume 86, Number 3 is guest edited by Paola Subacchi of Chatham House, and Andrew F. Cooper of The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and includes contributions from a number of CIGI authors including Eric Helleiner and Gregory T. Chin.
Rising States, Rising Institutions: Challenges for Global Governance
The global order is shifting in an unprecedented fashion. No major war has intervened to reshape the balance of power; nor has the world seen events as dramatic as the collapse of communism and the end of bipolarity in 1989. Rising States, Rising Institutions, co-edited by CIGI senior fellow Alan S. Alexandroff and CIGI distinguished fellow Andrew F. Cooper, examines the forces reshaping world politics and analyzes the institutions that are rising to meet the demand for new forms of global governance.
Moving the G20 Forward: From Private Wrongs to Public Goods
Following on its response to the global economic crisis, the G20 must now tackle other pressing global issues, including climate change, food security and global health. Andrew F. Cooper, CIGI distinguished fellow, and Andrew Schrumm, a CIGI research officer, discuss how the G20 must move beyond being a crisis committee to be a forward-looking organization and one that supports public goods.

Soundings Series: National Perspectives on Global Leadership
Researchers and scholars worldwide have turned their attention to the global economic crisis. National Perspectives on Global Leadership (NPGL), a joint project by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Brookings Institution, is an innovative project that focuses on a central question: To what extent are the G8 and G20 summits seen by national publics in G20 countries as serving their interests and meeting their expectations that leaders will take responsibility for global economic stewardship?
Emerging Powers in Global Governance: Lessons from the Heiligendamm Process (Chinese Translation)
全球治理中的新兴国家——来自海利根达姆进程的经验
