The G20 (or Group of Twenty) is an international body established to manage the global economy, and includes members from developing economies.This reference set examines the issues facing developing countries and studies the role that the G20 can play in light of continuing challenges and objectives to meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).Volume 1 sets out the state of the world economy and the intricate functions of the G20 in policy coordination and economic cooperation. It also deals with the interests and strategies of some developing country members of the G20. These chapters answer questions such as what the country expects from the G20, the strategies adopted to achieve its ends, the extent to which it sees itself as a representative of developing countries in its region and how does it seek to represent them.The G20 has also centred its efforts around helping countries achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Volume 2 concentrates on trade issues and the prospects of achieving the SDGs. In this context, it examines whether the SDGs themselves are a desirable goal in terms of what the nature of development is which underlies these goals.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>About the Editors-in-Chief</li><li>Acknowledgements</li><li>Introduction</li><li><b><i>Volume 1: Developing Countries and the Need for G20:</i></b><ul><li><b>Part 1 State of the World Economy and the Role of the G20:</b><ul><li>G20 and International Economic Coordination: Lessons from the Inter-War Years <i>(Manmohan Agarwal)</i></li><li>The Economic Situation of Countries in Sub-Saharan Countries: What Can Be Done by the G20? <i>(Manmohan Agarwal and Amrita Brahmo)</i></li><li>Latin America's Economic Performance: What Ails It? <i>(Manmohan Agarwal and Amrita Brahmo)</i></li><li>What Realistically Can the G20 Contribute to Development? <i>(Manmohan Agarwal and John Whalley)</i></li><li>The 2008–2009 Crisis and Developing Countries <i>(Manmohan Agarwal and Adrita Banerjee)</i></li></ul></li><li><b>Part 2 Country Perspectives:</b><ul><li>Argentina, G20 and Beyond: The 'Outsider' Saga <i>(Aparajita Gangopadhyay)</i></li><li>Indonesia's Role in the G20: Assessing the Critical Link in the ASEAN Chain <i>(Shankari Sundararaman)</i></li><li>Saudi Arabia and the Millennium Development Goals <i>(P R Kumaraswamy and Md Muddassir Quamar)</i></li><li>Turkey, G20 and Global Governance: Aspiration and Limitation <i>(Anwar Alam)</i></li></ul></li><li>Index</li></ul></li><li><b><i>Volume 2: How Developing Countries can Achieve Sustainable Development Goals:</i></b><ul><li><b>Part I Trade:</b><ul><li>Which Way Forward?
