The first three decades after 1945 were governed by the Bretton Woods consensus – a shallow multilateralism that permitted policymakers to focus on domestic social and employment needs while enabling global trade to recover and flourish. This regime was superseded in the 1980’s and 1990’s by an agenda of deeper liberalization and economic integration.
在1945年后的最初三十年间，起主导作用的是布雷顿森林共识——一个允许决策者在关注国内的社会和就业需要的同时，能够使全球 贸易恢复和繁荣的肤浅的多边主义。这个体制在20世纪80年代和90年代被一个更深入的自由化和经济一体化议程所取代。
