Abstract

The global imbalances that led to the Great Recession have both a political and economic origin. They have emerged from a contradictory world where old regulations and institutions are ruling the current economic structure in which former privileged countries are losing relative weight among nations. In this context, some proposals have been made aiming at overcoming the Ancien Régime restrictions and establish rules and institutions appropriate for today's world. The G20 has become a valuable tool to reach this goal.

Keywords:

Global imbalances, international political economy, international monetary system, G20, United States
