verfasstheit

Deutsch > Englisch Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften Staatswesen/Politik G20/ Agenda 2030/UN
Damit erhöht die G20 ihre Legitimität und reagiert auf einen der wesentlichen Kritikpunkte an ihrer Arbeitsweise und institutionellen Verfasstheit

"The G20 thereby increases its legitimacy and reacts to one of the significant criticisms of how it operates and its institutional VERFASSTHEIT."

Make up? State? as in, how it is institutionally arranged? The Proz dictionary has it as "character" but im not sure in this context

character

"... one of the main criticisms of its approach/procedures and its character as an institution."

Character fits the bill, in my opinion.

As Bernhard pointed out:

Verfasstheit (Duden) =
- Geprägtheit durch bestimmte Grundzüge, Strukturen o. Ä.;
- Zustand, Verfassung
