Fortunately, despite having lagged rather than led this process of consequential (and increasingly disorderly) global change, it is not too late for policymakers to catch up. But doing so requires more than just better national policymaking in Europe and America; it is also time for urgent and deep reform of the multilateral system and its main institutions.
幸运的是，尽管在这一系列（越来越无序的）全球变化中，决策者始终落后于时代，没能承担起领导者的责任，但现在迎头赶上还为时未晚。但这样做不但要求欧洲和美国的国家层面决策有所改善，还要求对多边体系及其主要机构进行刻不容缓的深度改革。这一过程要求联合领导——新兴世界应该获得与其西方和作者真正平等的权力。
