This challenge is rooted in two developments: the post-colonial and post-Soviet proliferation of states, and the disaggregation and erosion of state sovereignty. Crafting agreements is no longer the job of only foreign ministers or heads of state; it now must involve civil society, experts, international organizations, and the private sector – each of which has its own agenda.
这一挑战的根源在于两大发展趋势：后殖民时代和后苏联时代国家数量的增长，以及国家主权的崩溃和侵蚀。建立协议不再只是外交部长或国家元首的事情；如今这也是公民社会、专家、国际组织和私人行动方的事情——所有这些行动方都有其自身日程。这也许能让谈判更丰富；但也大大复杂和延长了谈判过程。。
