Both a sensible blueprint for a new international financial system and the definitive handbook for a new kind of governance within the G8 architecture...’ The Asahi Shimbun (Japanese Newspaper) ’Although the authors are senior established figures assessing the world establishment, they nonetheless reach some lively and controversial conclusions...a well written and carefully considered overview of the problems of patching-up the international monetary structure, as seen primarily from the viewpoint of the G7, at the very end of the last century.’ Professor Charles Goodhart, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK ’...a welcome addition to the literature on this important global network...Significant and accessible contributions to the study of the G7/G8.’ Millennium: Journal of International Studies
