This report covers a conference which examined issues dealt with by the G20 and others that may or may not be added to that forum's remit. It also assesses how the G20 fits into the broader global governance landscape. The framework for much of the analysis was the idea of a supply and demand for global governance. Given the shortfall of and considerable demand for global governance supply, there have been calls to add issues to the G-20 agenda that lie beyond its traditional scope. However, most participants were wary of potential "mission creep" and thought that the G-20 should focus principally on its economic agenda.
