After all the diplomacy and effort that these epoch-making events required, European policymakers should be able to tackle reform of the IMF, the World Bank, the G-7, and the G-8. Yet all of these institutions still reflect the post-World War&#160;II status quo, which serves little purpose in today’s world.
作为成功应对了创立欧盟和货币联盟的挑战的各国而言，这样的表现实在差劲。在这些划时代的事件所必需的外交斡旋及努力之后，欧洲的政策制定者们应该能够应对IMF、世界银行、G-7和G-8的改革。然而所有这些机构都仍然反映着二战以后的情况，这对当今的世界几乎没有多大意义。
