India and the Future of G20 : Shaping Policies for a Better World Hardcover – 18 November 2023
by - Iqbal Singh Sevea. Amitendu Palit & Vinod Rai
As the G20, the world's largest economic and strategic grouping, addresses issues such as climate change that are of immediate concern, this book provides insights on India's presidency and its potential to deliver sustainable solutions in a fractured world order. Visionary contributions from G20 member Sherpas, including Argentina, Indonesia, Mexico, Singapore and the UAE, provide depth to the discourse.
The book showcases a diverse array of perspectives from distinguished scholars and policy practitioners. The contributors focus on key themes such as the digital economy, resilient supply chains, environmental standards, climate finance, gender empowerment, the future of multilateralism and the role of the Global South, offering a comprehensive examination of the G20's impact on the world stage.
Skilfully curated by noted experts Iqbal Sevea, Dr Amitendu Palit and Vinod Rai, India and the Future of G20 is an invaluable reference for policymakers, strategic experts and the business community worldwide.
