Kissinger defines “world order” as a concept of just international arrangements that is “thought to be applicable to the entire world.” Before the advent of the European Union, for example, Europe conceived of world order as a balance of great powers, in which multiple religions and forms of government could coexist.
基辛格将“世界秩序”定义为“公认适用于整个世界”的国际协议。比方说在欧盟出现之前，欧洲将世界秩序视为大国间的权力平衡，多个地区和多种政府形式可以共处其中。
