How monolithic is the group of twenty developing countries that emerged as a regional force during the World Trade Organisation's 5th Ministerial meeting at Cancún? Will the so-called G20 expand its agenda beyond the question of agricultural subsidies? Will it prove a force to shift the global balance of power? Walden Bello, Right Livelihood Award winner and Trans National Institute (TNI) board member and fellow, addressed these crucial questions at a Policy Dialogue organised by TNI and the Institute of Social Studies on the 5th April, as part of an ongoing series of policy dialogues aimed at inspiring critical thinking about the current neo-liberal development paradigm.
