<!-- 1973 के तेल संकट और आर्थिक मंदी के बाद विश्व के बडे औद्यिगिक-लोकतांत्रिक देशों को एक मंच पर लाने का प्रस्ताव सामने आया। 1974 में संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका ने एक 'पुस्तकालय समूह' की स्थापना की, जो कि वास्तव में संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका, यूनाईटेड किंग्डम्, पश्चिमी जर्मनी, जापान और फ्रांस का एक अनौपचारिक समूह था|The concept of a forum for the world's major industrialized [[democracy|democracies]] emerged following the [[1973 oil crisis]] and subsequent global [[recession]]. In 1974 the United States created the Library Group, an informal gathering of senior financial officials from the [[United States]], the [[United Kingdom]], [[West Germany]], [[Japan]] and [[France]]. In [[1975]], French President [[Valéry Giscard d'Estaing]] invited the [[heads of government]] from West Germany, [[Italy]], Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States to a summit in [[mbouillet]]. The six leaders agreed to an annual meeting organized under a rotating presidency, forming the Group of Six (G6). The following year, [[Canada]] joined the group at the behest of [[Germany]]'s Chancellor [[Helmut Schmidt|Chancellor Helmut Schmidt]] and [[President of the United States|U.S. President]] [[Gerald Ford]]<ref>[http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Params=A1ARTFET_E10 ''G8: The Most Exclusive Club in the World'', Thomas S.

The [[European Union]] is represented by the [[President of the European Commission]] and the leader of the country that holds the [[Presidency of the Council of the European Union]]. The [[President of the European Commission]] has attended all meetings since it was first invited by the United Kingdom in [[1977]]<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.deljpn.ec.europa.eu/union/showpage_en_union.Harry.g8.php| title = EU and the G8| accessdate = 2006-07-17| publisher = European Union}}</ref> and the [[President of the European Council|Council President]] now also regularly attends.

The [[Cold War]] with the [[Soviet Union]] ended and the country's dissolution in 1991, [[Russia]] became the successor state. From the [[20th G7 summit|1994's G7 summit in Naples]], Russian officials held separate meetings with leaders of the G7 after the group's summits. This informal arrangement was dubbed the Political 8 (P8) - or, colloquially, the 'G7+1'. At the invitation of [[United Kingdom]] [[Tony Blair|premier Tony Blair]] and [[United States|US]] President [[Bill Clinton]]<ref>[http://www.theglobalist.com/storyid.aspx?StoryId=5151 ''Russia — Odd Man Out in the G-8'', Mark Medish, ''The Globalist'', 02-24-2006].Accessed: 07-12-2008]</ref>, Russia formally joined the group in 1997, resulting in the 'Group of Eight' - the G8. -->

<!-- The annual G8 leaders summit is attended by eight of the world's most powerful heads of government. But more than one analyst suggests that a G-8 summit is not the place to flesh out the details of any difficult or controversial policy issue in the context of a three-day event. Rather, the meeting offers an opportunity to bring a range of complex and sometimes inter-related issues. The G8 summit brings leaders together not so they can dream up quick fixes, but to talk and think about them together.<ref name="feldman1">Feldman, Adam.

The G8 summit is an international event which is observed and reported by news media, but the G8's relevance is unclear.<ref>Lee, Don. [http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-fg-summit6-2008jul06,0,2282497.story "On eve of summit, G-8's relevance is unclear,"] ''Los Angeles Times.'' July 6, 2008.</ref> The member country holding the G8 presidency is responsible for organising and hosting the year's summit, held for three days in mid-year; and for this reason, Tony Blair and the United Kingdom accumulated the lion's share of the credit for what went right (and wrong) at Gleneagles in 2005. Similarly, Yasuo Fukuda and Japan hope to garner the greater part of the credit for what went well (and what did not) at the Hokkaido Summit in 2008.

Each of the 34 G8 summit meetings could have been called a success if only the events has been re-framed as venues to generate additional momentum for solving problems at the other multilateral conferences that meet throughout the year. The G8 summit sets the stage for what needs to be done and establishes an idea of how to do it, even if that idea is, at best, rough and patchy.<ref name="feldman1">[see above]</ref> -->

<!-- As the annual summits are extremely high profile, they are subject to extensive lobbying by advocacy groups and street demonstrations by activists.

Of the [[anti-globalization movement]] protests, one of the largest and most violent occurred for the [[27th G8 summit]] <small>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7506609.stm]</small>. Since that G8 Summit and the subsequent [[September 11, 2001 attacks]] on the [[United States]] occurred months apart in the same year, the G8 have gathered at some forms of remote locations every year since then. The [[7 जुलाई 2005 London bombings]] were timed to coincide with the [[31st G8 summit]] in [[Scotland]]. -->
