The Group of Eight (G8) is the coalition of eight of the world's leading industrialized nations: the United Kingdom, France, Germany (West Germany to 1991), Italy, Japan, and the United States, (the G6, 1975), Canada (the G7, 1976), and Russia (first known as the G7+1, 1998), as well as the European Union.
The hallmark of the G8 is an annual economic and politicalsummit of the heads of state with international officials, though there are numerous subsidiary meetings and policy research.
The annual summits are often the focus of anti-globalization movement protests.
The hallmark of the G8 is an annual economic and politicalsummit meeting of the heads of government with international officials, though there are numerous subsidiary meetings and policy research.
Since the agenda of G8 is usually about controversial global issues, critics often refer to the G8 as an unofficial "world government." The annual summits are often the focus of anti-globalization movement protests, notably at the 27th G8summit in Genoa in 2001.
Critics assert that members of G8 are responsible for global issues such as global warming due to carbon dioxide emission, poverty in Africa and developing countries due to debt crisis and unfair trading policy, the AIDS problem due to strict medicine patent policy and other problems that are related to globalization.
