Description
In global economic governance, political consensus reached by the G20 members plays an important role in defining governance ideas and governance directions as well as steering and boosting collective actions.
Political opportunities are essential for G20 members’ successful efforts to place their preferences into a political consensus. This talk will analyze how G20 members achieve consensus through the lens of political opportunity, and examine China’s practice of proposing policy initiatives and placing its preferences into the political consensus of the G20.
