ABSTRACT The international system has long distinguished classes of states, such as “great powers”. Recently, “systemically significant states” has emerged as a new designation within global financial governance. This designation was introduced by the G7 to justify the new membership composition of the G20, and has since been adopted in policy documents and recommendations by other institutions, such as the IMF. This article traces the origins of the term “systemically significant” and argues that, although nominally meant to be a term of inclusion and a signal of the pluralisation of governance authority, it instead serves as a new category of stratification rooted in a neoliberal governmentality of risk.

“具有系统意义的国家”：追溯 G20 成员类别作为国际体系分层的新逻辑

摘要 国际体系长期以来一直区分国家等级，例如“大国”。最近，“具有系统重要性的国家”成为全球金融治理中的一个新名称。这一名称由 G7 引入，以证明 G20 的新成员组成是合理的，此后已被其他机构（例如 IMF）在政策文件和建议中采用。本文追溯了“系统重要性”一词的起源，并认为，虽然名义上是一个包容性术语和治理权威多元化的信号，但它实际上是一种新的分层类别，植根于新自由主义的治理结构。风险。
