多边主义和多边机构面临严重威胁。这反过来又威胁到在解决重大全球经济和社会挑战方面的持续进展：全球经济增长放缓，全球金融危机反复发生;不平等日益加剧，尽管近几十年来世界各地的生活条件有了显著改善，但由于贫困、饥饿、冲突和脆弱性，特别是在非洲，贫困持续存在;开放的全球贸易制度面临的挑战日益增加;以及流行病、自然灾害和气候变化的普遍风险。本文旨在评估多边主义和多边机构面临的威胁，并就如何应对这些威胁提出一些想法。不过，需要明确的是，多边主义不仅仅是投资融资。对于发展和维护各国和各国人民之间基于规则的公平的全球经济和社会关系，对于制定广泛接受的规范并监督其遵守情况，对于建立创造、收集和交流知识和数据的网络，以及对于解决合作伙伴和竞争对手之间争夺全球资源、市场和影响力的潜在冲突，它也非常重要。
Multilateralism and the multilateral institutions face serious threats. This in turn threatens the continuing progress in solving critical global economic and social challenges: slowing global economic growth and recurring global financial crises; growing inequality and—despite significant improvements in living conditions worldwide in recent decades—persistent deprivation due to poverty, hunger, conflict and fragility, especially in Africa; rising challenges to an open global trading regime; and the pervasive risks of pandemics, natural disasters, and climate change. This article aims to assess the threats faced by multilateralism and multilateral institutions and to develop some ideas on how they might be addressed. Just to be clear, though, multilateralism is not just about the financing of investments. It is also very important about developing and maintaining rules-based and fair global economic and social relations among countries and peoples, about setting widely accepted norms and monitoring their adherence, about establishing networks to create, collect, and exchange knowledge and data, and about resolving potential conflicts among partners and competitors for global resources, markets, and influence.
