The essays in this collection argue that - contrary to some private-sector populists - the state is in the best position to lead in making policy in a rapidly changing world and should retain and refine this responsibility.

This paper reviews the history of the Group of Eight (G8) and the subsequent establishment of the Group of Twenty (G20). It summarizes and analyzes the outcome of the most recent G8 and G20 Summits held in 2010 at Huntsville and Toronto respectively. It takes stock of the G8/G20 summit processes, noting the emerging trends with respect to the role of Government Leaders, summit management and summit effectiveness. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations for a Canadian approach to influencing the rapid changes in international decision-making manifested by recent G8 and G20 experience. Chief among these suggestions is that Canada should lead work on resolving the relationship between the G8 and the G20 with a view to consolidating the G20 as a fully functioning instrument of global governance.

Le trouble est évident. On le pressent aux échecs quotidiens des gouvernements. L'insécurité économique, la pollution, le quatrième pouvoir qui transfigure la scène internationale, les conflits qui couvent entre peuples et territoires, tous ces maux accablent l'État et l'empêchent, si puissant soit-il, de gouverner seul, même lorsqu'il s'agit de problèmes internes. Certes, la mondialisation est riche de promesses, mais elle pose de brûlantes questions au chapitre de la gouvernance. L'État est-il toujours apte à gouverner ? Les institutions démocratiques ne sont-elles pas arrivées trop tard pou

"In Altered States, Gordon Smith and Moises Naim explore the dynamics of globalization and discuss what makes today's globalization distinct. They test the prevailing wisdom about sovereignty and state capacity, and sort out the humbug. They consider whether sovereignty itself is an impediment or a requirement to security and prosperity. And, in three areas ripe for progress - preventing deadly conflict, providing opportunities for the young, and managing the many harms of climate change - they advance plans of action by which states, with others in the global community, can govern successfully in the future. Their message gives both hope and warning: globalization opens possibilities of prosperity, security, and human well-being, but only if new ways of governance are constructed."--Jacket.
