There should be changes in the governance of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, especially in voting structure and representation changes in the governance of the WTO, including more transparency, the elimination of the green room processes and the creation of more representative processes for decision making. There should also be a move away from a focus on the G-8 to a focus on the G-24. This is according to a paper from the Initiative for Policy Dialogue (IPD) at Columbia University in the United States. The paper assesses the underlying democratic deficiencies and weaknesses in global governance, and examines the forces that might lead to a meaningful change.
