The G8 (the United States, England, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia,
the European Union, and Canada) represents the major political driver of
contemporary globalization. It is also the most powerful political force
behind the multilateral institutions that are shaping global economic
practice and governance.  The aid, trade, and investment policies and
practices of G8 member nations largely shape the development possibilities
of poorer countries around the world. 70;..61;
