Abstract
The paper considers the extent to which the G20 process has assisted British state managers with key problems of economic management. It conceptualises the state as the political form of capital and argues that the institutions of global economic governance have helped British state managers reconcile the objectives of accumulation and legitimation from the Gold Standard to the G20. In particular, it argues that the technocratic approach adopted by the G20 from the finance ministers’ meetings to the leaders’ summits has provided British policymakers with a discourse of international expert consensus that reinforces domestic economic strategy based on financialisation, and in the process contributes to the depoliticisation of welfare state retrenchment and labour market discipline in the context of liberalisation and globalisation.
