The selection process involves appointment by politicians rather than a direct public election.

The G20 financial summit in November 2008 is characterized as a "photo op" where countries with their own financial messes criticize the United States. Analysts suggest that the real solution to the global crisis lies in a "G2" agreement between the U.S. and China, rather than the fragmented agendas of the larger group.
