Sub-type Policy brief Author Thompson, Andrew S. Title UNU Policy Brief Number 2, 2005 Series Title Policy Briefs Publication Date 2005 Place of Publication Japan Publisher United Nations University Pages VIII, 8 Language eng Abstract This document is based on a forthcoming book that examines the feasibility of creating an institution known as the “L20”, a summit of twenty world leaders whose objective would be to break the international deadlock over some of the most pressing problems facing the world. In a climate of despondency over the achievements of existing global institutions such as the G7/8, the United Nations, the World Bank and others in dealing with these major issues—which include terrorism, HIV/AIDS, globalization and the “global apartheid” between the developed North and the developing South —this document asks what is new and unique about the L20 that might enable it to make the breakthrough where others are deemed to have failed. Is the L20 destined to be the defining institution of the 21stcentury, or is it doomed to remain merely an idea? UNBIS Thesaurus DISEASE PREVENTION AND CONTROL
