Middle Power Leadership and the Evolution of the G20

Global power is becoming more diffuse, smarter, and more asymmetric. In developing this extended argument, we make four points.

Second, a strong G20 has positive attributes for global governance. Third, a main driving force for the ascent of the G20 has been and will continue to be middle power leadership.
