The G20 at Hmc Boston
Harvard Model Congress Boston 2020 GUIDE TO THE G20 Edited by Ravi Shah and Harnek Gulati INTRODUCTION Welcome to the Group of Twenty! The G20 is a forum for the world’s nineteen largest economies—Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States, plus the European Union. The group allows for dialogue among the world’s most advanced and emerging economies. The group’s main tasks consist of addressing global economic and financial issues—at least one delegate at the conference will represent each country. You, the delegates at HMC 2019, will play the roles of these officials, representing their respective governments or institutions during the summit. At this time of global financial crisis and economic slowdown, the G20 has been instrumental to the stabilization of the international financial system and the coordination of macroeconomic policies among the most important economic players in the international arena. During our conference, you will represent the opinions of their governments on political and environmental matters, bringing each government’s perspective regarding the restoration of political stability and environmental sustainability to the table. You are expected to challenge each other on political matters in order to defend the interests of your respective countries, all while keeping global cooperation and the elaboration of a common strategy as your ultimate goals. HISTORY OF THE G20 The G20 was founded in 1999 as a response to the financial crises of the late 1990s. It replaced the short-lived G33 and G22. -
