The G20 exists because Paul Martin & Gordon Brown recognized in 1997 that a gathering as unrepresentative as the G7/8 would find it impossible to manage transnational challenges in an interdependent world. It was sparked by the Asian Crisis but its logic persisted #G20Italy
My old boss Mr. Martin was absolutely gripped by the issue. He began lobbying for a G20 while hosting the 1998 APEC Finance Ministers in Kananaskis, Alta (an event that gave me a classic Ralph Klein anecdote). We even had windbreakers made up with a nifty logo #G20Italy 
By 1999, he had made real progress internationally. The first G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors meeting was held in Berlin. And Martin served as its inaugural Chair. It was an important milestone. But there was still stiff resistance at the Leaders' level #G20Italy
