In this context, it is not surprising that ordinary citizens feel uncertain about the future and frustrated with their governments, which have so far failed to protect them from globalization’s fallout. But wresting power back from regional and international institutions – however shadowy and distant they may seem – would only compound the problem, for it would reduce the ability to guide the supranational trends that are shaping the world’s future.
在这样的环境下，毫不奇怪普通公民会对未来深感不确定，对政府没有保护他们免受全球化副作用伤害深感失望。但地区和国际机构开始的权力角力——不管多么隐蔽、看起来离我们多么遥远——只能让问题恶化，因为这样做削弱了引导决定世界未来的超国家趋势的能力。
