In May 2011, Jagdish Bhagwati of Columbia University and I co-chaired a High Level Group convened by the prime ministers of the United Kingdom, Germany, Turkey, and Indonesia to attempt to move the multilateral process ahead. Our sponsors welcomed our recommendations, but that and similar efforts have gained little traction, leaving all countries rushing headlong toward a world full of uncertainty and risk.
一些人意识到了这一风险。2011年5月，哥伦比亚大学的贾格迪什·巴格瓦提（Jagdish Bhagwati）和我共同主持了由英国、德国、土耳其和印尼首相/总理组成高级别小组，试图推动多边程序的进步。我们的发起人欢迎我们的建议，但类似的努力并没有获得多少动力，所有国家仍一股脑儿奔向充满不确定性和风险的世界。
