The G-20 Summit - Progress Made?

At the recent G-20 summit, world leaders spent time discussing the financial crisis and how to coordinate responses to the crisis, coming up with a $1 trillion plan to combat slumping economies and assist suffering nations. Will this be enough, and can cooperation be ensured? Media coverage of the summit looked to answer these questions and analyzed the agreed-upon package; AICGS has put together a page of links of the best analysis of the summit from AICGS experts and news organizations.
