The players at the global level

Who are the players at the global level? Most people would claim the G8 (seven most industrialized countries plus Rusia).

Since they do not represent the developing countries, other people would claim the World Bank and IMF are important players.

In terms of CSOs, maybe OXFAM and other NGOs.

The United Nations also plays a role. For example, since 1972, every June 5th, they organize the World Day of the Environment. During this day, some negotiations and conversations take place that trigger new initiatives. Something similar happens with Microfinance for Development (Year 2005), Climate Change and others.

It would be indeed interesting to start a forum on opinions about who are the players at the global level.

Thanks.
