ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the pattern, subject matter, preparation and dissemination of documents of the G20 summits, the G20 Finance Ministers’ and Central Bank Governors’ forum as well as other G20 ministerial meetings and such sub-summit entities as working groups and task forces. It shows how documents reflect G20 deliberations and initiatives, and indicates how lower-level documents feed into higher levels of the G20 hierarchy. The chapter also includes a survey of documents submitted to the G20 by external actors, and a discussion of the issue of transparency of the G20. Sources of information other than documentary material are discussed in Chapter 10.
