| Summary |
This book describes and analyzes the 3-year-long "L-20" project, whose objective was to develop a method of breaking the political deadlocks that too often prevent progress on critical global issues. The proposed L-20 would include leaders from the existing G-8 countries, augmented by key regional powers such as China, Brazil, India, South Africa, and Egypt. The book traces the origins and findings of the project, which generated a broad array of cutting-edge research and over 20 substantive, action-oriented workshops involving hundreds of experts and practitioners around the world. |
