Reforming Global Governance
French Embassy in London
Opening Conference of the 2011 Cycle "G20 a Silent Revolution in Global Governance" - Residence of the French Ambassador, London - Short Edit
2 march 2011

As the balance of power between nations is shifting, global governance is set for profound change, from the Bretton Woods institutions to the United Nations Security Council. The emerging arrangement will crystallize power and status. The outcome is uncertain. Tensions are already occurring. The G20, which gathers key stakeholders, has come to occupy centre stage during the financial crisis. But can it become the linchpin of global governance? Is it legitimate? Can it deliver in the long run? What should it deliver? Are there alternatives? How to make it a success?
At the invitation of the French Ambassador to the UK, Lionel Barber, editor of the Financial Times, Hubert Védrine, former French Foreign Minister, Robin Niblett, Director of Chatham House, Gideon Rachman, FT Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator and author of “Zero-Sum World, and Christian de Boissieu, head of the French Economic Analysis Council, deliver a compelling analysis of these key issues.
