• This book examines the European Union (EU) coordination of the G7, G8 and G20 (Gx). The author comprehensively maps out the different coordination processes for each Gx forum and assesses the procedures used, the actors involved as well as the evolution of the Gx forum over time. -- This book examines how and why the European Union (EU) and its member states coordinate for the G7, G8 and G20 (Gx). Relying on extensive new interview material and an online survey completed by 160 European government officials, Peter Debaere comprehensively maps out the different coordination processes for each Gx forum. To understand these coordination patterns, he reviews several causal factors such as the relevance of the Gx and the idea that EU coordination maximizes influence in international institutions. Building on observations in the fields of finance, development, agriculture and others, Debaere carefully develops causal paths that lead to different levels of internal EU coordination for the Gx. 
• 'Debaere provides a compelling and authoritative account of EU coordination in the empirically challenging Gx context. This study provides not only key insights into the variegated coordination patterns of the EU in G7, G8, and G20 processes, it also enriches the concept of coordination which is surprisingly underdeveloped in the literature.'-Katie Verlin Laatikainen, Associate Professor, Adelphi University, USA 'This book develops the most advanced explanatory framework for exploring how, how much and to what effect the EU coordinates the positions and mobilizes the resources of all its member states. It is a must read for all scholars, stakeholders and policymakers of the EU, G7/8, G20 and global governance as a whole.'-John Kirton, Director, G7 Research Group, and Co-Director, G20 Research Group, Professor of Political Science, University of Toronto, Canada 'This book will be welcomed by all those who study the role of the EU in global governance. By providing a conceptually sophisticated and empirically rich analysis of the EU's role in the G7, G8 and G20, it adds significantly to the literature and to our understanding of EU policy-making.'-Michael Smith, Professor of European Politics, Loughborough University, UK.
