Laying out the purpose and evolution of the agenda in the context of the 2008–9 global financial crisis … the book urges the extension of the G20 agenda in the post-2010 period to more efficiently address concerns of developing members … such as India. In this vein, chapters of the book offer 'India's perspectives' on issues of the G20 development agenda … that are significant to India. The chapters address these issues well, discuss the successes and failures of the G20 agenda to address these issues in a more global manner, and argue for expanding the G20 development agenda to include the perspectives of developing countries and make the G20 a 'gateway' to gain credibility in the global governance area. The book, with its issue-specific information and supporting tables and figures, represents an impressive 'Indian perspective' in assessing the G20 agenda.' R. Das, Choice
