尽管关注了越来越多的行为者和代理人，但关于全球治理的文献仍然非常传统，而且以西方为中心。它在很大程度上仍然围绕着二战后在美国霸权下创建的现有多边体系。在本文中，我提出了一种新的理解，即研究反映最近和正在发生的全球经济和政治变化的全球治理。为此，本文采用了“多元世界”的概念，取代了传统的自由世界秩序的概念，全球治理的主流文献都植根于这个概念之中。与前者不同，多元化世界的理念设想了一个更加多元化和多样化的全球治理架构，其塑造因素是跨国挑战的激增，新思想的传播，以及处于全球治理中心的行为者和进程的扩大。多元化世界更好地反映了全球治理的持续碎片化，这反过来反映出对新原则和新方法的需求日益增长，而这些原则和方法不能通过简单地扩展由美国或其创建的多边机构主导的现有但正在衰落的国际秩序来满足。这篇论文认为，全球治理的概念必须与多元化世界的新兴现实达成协议。
Despite paying attention to a growing number of actors and agents, the literature on global governance remain remarkably traditional and Western-centric. Much of it still revolves around the existing multilateral system created under U.S. hegemony after World War II. In this paper, I propose a new understanding of studying global governance that reflects recent and ongoing global economic and political shifts. To this end, in the place of the traditional conception of a liberal world order within which the mainstream literature on global governance has been anchored, this paper employs the idea of a “Multiplex World”. Unlike the former, the idea of a Multiplex World envisions a more pluralistic and diversified architecture of global governance shaped by a proliferation of transnational challenges, diffusion of new ideas, and expansion of actors and processes that lie at the center of global governance. A Multiplex World better captures the ongoing fragmentation of global governance, which in turn reflects a growing demand for new principles and approaches that cannot be accommodated by a simple extension of the existing but fading international order dominated by the US or the multilateral institutions it created. The concept of global governance, argues this paper, must come to terms with an emerging realities of the Multiplex World.
