We argue that the different results of the G20 Summit in Hamburg show what can be achieved under an insightful, competent, and globally-minded G20 Presidency, combined with a disciplined advisory process, drawing on the expertise of leading G20 think tanks and other research organizations—even in times of turbulent global governance and uneasy multilateralism. An effective global order needs to be built not only on intergovernmental cooperation, but also on dense and growing networks and alliances between G20 societies, which might help to contribute developing joint interests and narratives on global governance in an economically, technologically, ecologically highly integrated, but socially and politically still very fragmented word. The T20 might play a substantial role in those regards.
