"What to Expect at India’s G20 Summit" - by CWP alum Manjari Chatterjee Miller

On September 9, members of the Group of 20 (G20), an intergovernmental forum of the world’s largest economies that aims to address issues related to the global economy, will gather in New Delhi for their annual Leaders’ Summit. As this year’s G20 president and host, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been cannily using the events leading up to the summit both to promote India’s position on the world stage and to increase his own domestic clout. Furthermore, Modi sees the G20 presidency as an opportunity to showcase India’s credentials as a bridge between Global South countries and the West. The summit will therefore be the capstone to India’s chairmanship this past year. But what is the G20, why is this year’s summit important, and what should we expect from New Delhi?
