Abstract

The continuous development of emerging economies represented by China and Russia has exacerbated the changes in the world political and economic landscape, and international organizations represented by the United Nations have led to inefficient dispute resolution mechanisms in international affairs due to their formalism and pluralism. On the contrary, G-groups has shown its flexibility and efficiency in global governance. However, the international community has been questioned G-group’s legitimacy for many years. This paper will take the G7 and G20 as examples, analyze the legitimacy problems in G-groups, explain their reform measures, and propose future reform directions to promote the development of G-groups, so as to help the international community to conduct global governance more effectively.
