The G20 at Five: “New Model of Major Power Relationship” and the G20

Introduction

An evident milestone has been reached. The G20 Summit is now five years into being a leaders’ forum. But there are concerns that the G20 is failing to meet the global leadership challenges that the Leaders Summit was intended for at the time of permanent creation at the Pittsburgh Summit in the fall of 2009. A key factor appears to be that major powers have not shouldered their due responsibilities. Chinese President Xi proposed establishing “New Model of Major Power Relationship”, which has been taken positively by the US Obama Administration. However, this concept needs to be better described and corresponding global governance practices need to be identified. How will this new Model of major power relationship (新型大国关系- xin xing da guo guan xi), described by Xi Jinping, affect today’s apex of global governance – the G20? If this major power relationship – focused on the United States and China turns out to be a success, will the G20 Leaders Summit benefit from it? Thus, the fourth annual Shanghai Conference has much to consider at this fifth anniversary of the G20 Leaders Summit. What are the “new elements” of modern major power relationship compared to traditional great power relationships? What are the major obstacles and challenges facing the major powers in global governance and how can these powers overcome purely national interests to fashion collective cooperation? How should the US and China think and act constructively for establishing the new model of relationship and how specifically will they act in the G20? How will their actions promote cooperation and enhance G20 operations, including providing a benign environment for all rising powers, established powers and middle powers in the G20? These questions will be dealt with in the one and a half days’ discussions. The politics and economics of global governance and Asia-Pacific perspectives will dominate the roundtable discussions. This year’s Conference is structured as in previous years. It is a roundtable-type of setting where discussants have a few preliminary thoughts and then the discussion widens out to the entire assemblage. English is the working language of the conference.
