Abstract
This chapter analyses the participation of the agricultural G-20 coalition within the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization. The strategies, modes of operation, as well as the internal and external articulations of the group from its inception during the run-up to the Cancun Ministerial to its dissolution in 2008 are the object of scrutiny. Based on documental analysis of cables from the achieves of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and interviews conducted with stakeholders in the negotiation process, the chapter engages with the contextual circumstances and central factors which both permitted the rise of the G-20 within the negotiation process, but eventually also led to its disintegration.
