"Tujuan dari Tesis ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana kontribusi G-20 dalam proses penanganan krisis finansial global 2008-2009 dan dominasi peran negara terhadap sektor perekonomian (sektor finansial). Proses penanganan krisis finansial global pada periode itu diwarnai oleh berbagai aktivitas ekonomi-politik internasional dan melibatkan institusi internasional lain di luar negara.
Respons negara-negara perekonomian utama dunia terhadap ancaman krisis finansial global ini melibatkan lembaga-lembaga keuangan internasional seperti International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Financial Stability Board, dan lain-lain. Hal itu tercermin dari tiga komunike KTT G-20 yang diadakan secara terpisah, tapi dengan agenda yang berkesinambungan dan saling menunjang. Dalam prosesnya, beberapa implementasi komitmen G-20 tercermin, mulai dari ekspansi kebijakan ekonomi negara-negara G-20, framework-framework baru, penguatan dan/atau penciptaan rezim / institusi keuangan internasional baru, hingga peniadaan praktik tax havens. Dengan menempatkan pola dari perspektif neorealisme, penelitian ini membuktikan munculnya variabel-variabel dalam regime as intervening variable, yakni Egoistic self-interest, Political power, Norms and Principles, Usage and Custom, dan Knowledge dalam mencapai tujuan pemulihan dan pertumbuhan ekonomi global, seperti yang digambarkan melalui indikator makroekonomi global.
Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksplanasi dengan berkaca pada sistem moneter internasional, kebijakan ekonomi domestik, dan interkoneksitas kapital global. Selain itu, penggunaan Historical Persepective-Research juga digunakan untuk membantu melakukan analisis dan kritik, serta menyatukan urutan kejadian atau proses respons negara terhadap ancaman krisis finansial global.
