WASHINGTON, DC – The year 2015 was difficult, punctuated by declining growth forecasts, horrific terror attacks, massive refugee flows, and serious political challenges, with populism on the rise in many countries. In the Middle East, in particular, chaos and violence has continued to proliferate, with devastating consequences.
华盛顿—2015年是艰难的一年，这一年，增长预测值下滑，发生了可怕的恐怖袭击、大规模难民和严重的政治挑战，许多国家都兴起了民粹主义。特别是在中东，混乱和暴力继续繁盛，造成了灾难性后果。这是一个令人失望的转变，几十年前尽管缺陷重重但满怀希望的世界已经不在。
