By contrast, a central feature of today’s globalized, multipolar world is that shared democratic values do not guarantee agreement about substantial questions of international politics. The more democracies there are, the more conflicts of interests and differences are likely to emerge between democratic countries.
相反，当今全球化、多极化世界的一大核心特征是共同的民主价值并不能保证国际政治本质问题上的一致性。民主国家越多，民主国家之间产生利益冲突和分歧的可能性就越大。
