G20: What can be expected in Mexico?
by Bhanu Joshi
The Group of 20 or G20 as it is popularly called will be meeting for its seventh edition this year in Mexico. The G20 initially conceived to solve the East Asia crisis in 1997 was promoted to a full fledged leader’s forum in 2008 in the wake of the international economic crisis. The economic slump seems to be now over; looking at the latest World Economic Outlook Report (IMF), the world economy after staying in the negative for 2008-09 is showing promise and is pegged to grow by 4.5% in 2012. The role of G20 in this economic rebound is still questioned but the benefit of doubt goes to the group’s commitment shown in 2008. While the G20 has rightly identified economy & finance as the key area of expertise, the continuing euro-zone crisis shows in small way, how even the joint might of world leaders and multilateral agencies can do little.

What Rhodes Youth Forum stands for?
It is estimated by the UN that by 2025 around 1300 billion people on earth will be youth. This generation will be the youngest in the history of mankind and this potential source of energy needs to be tapped in order to develop meaningfully the resources and opportunities available in the countries. My argument is that if Youth has to be developed as an agent of positive change then we need an Analysis, Engagement &Investment of youth movements and participation which is called as the Youth led Sector.
