No worldview rooted in the nineteenth century – much less in the ninth century – is adequate to the complexities of today’s globalized world. Likewise, the rise of new powers and non-state actors means that rule making (and breaking) can no longer be restricted to a small Western club.
没有哪种植根于19世纪——更不用说9世纪——的世界观能够应对今天全球化世界的复杂局势。同样，全新大国及非国家力量的崛起意味着规则的制定（和打破）不能再作为西方小型俱乐部的专利。全球竞争的激烈程度意味着欧洲国家不能再关起门来追求富裕。
