Abstract: Abstract Alf Maizels was not only a very good economist; he was also a sophisticated analyst of politics and power. In his view, in the early 1980s, ‘scope for reform [in global economic governance] is severely constrained by ... the existing power structure in the international economy’ (Maizels 1982: 184). Twenty- five years later, the rise of China, India, Brazil and others has elicited new discussion of such global institutional reforms. But constraints and dilemmas remain. This chapter devotes particular attention to the means of achieving effective representation and voice for the poorest and smallest countries in evolving global economic governance arrangements.
