About the Book

This comprehensive Companion reviews the diverse challenges and successes faced by the G7 members over the last 50 years, and assesses the uncertain future of the organisation. Using a diverse range of methodologies, analytical work, and personal perspectives, it discusses how the G7 has been an important actor in terms of policy coordination, responding to global crises and attempting to mitigate problems in developing countries. Emphasising that the G7 has continually been in a state of structural transformation, expert contributors explore the group’s history, before exploring the political economy of its policy formulation. They cover a wide range of topics including macroeconomic dialogue, sanctions, exchange rates, trade, debt relief, energy, climate change, agriculture, gender equality and health. Chapters also engage with the group’s external relations, focussing on interactions with Africa, China, and Russia. The Companion looks ahead to the future of the G7, dealing in particular with current and emerging issues in geoeconomics and geopolitical relations. The Elgar Companion to the G7 is an invaluable resource for scholars of political science, economics, international relations and law. Policymakers, journalists, think tanks and businesses working on international economic issues will also benefit from the book’s theoretical and practical insights.

Review :
‘At a time when global problems are becoming increasingly complex, global governance is a highly contested issue. It requires institutional frameworks to ensure coordination of policies among nations. Although the G7 has long served as a venue for such coordination, it remains underexplored in academic literature. This volume, written by eminent experts to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of this informal grouping, is a must-read for anyone seeking a timely and objective analysis of the G7’s successes and failures. It also explores the group’s future prospects by examining its historical background and the political economy aspects of its ever-expanding agenda. The book is also innovative in its approach to assessing the implications of global coordination in the domestic political sphere.’
