Does the mobilization of G-20 carry democratic implications in the international politics?

Summary/Abstract: The composition of world summits such as G-20 might deliver implications in the global politics from many perspectives. In one side, anti-globalization advocates would be those who in the first instance put their disagreement with any world summit like G-20. On the other hand, a policy-analysis of the Western foreign policy, from the G-20’s composition context, addresses a well-grounded critique to the latter. The soundness of this critique is related with the new way that for instance China’s empowerment is taking place, while the latter is becoming a constant and well-established member of G-20, as a leading world problems’ summit. In that perspective, I analyze the democratization implications provided by a socialization of the West with China, in a G-20 context of world politics.
