多边主义的困境及其转型

The Dilemma of Multilateralism and Its Reform

多边主义既是一种国际互动方式和制度安排,又是主权国家对外关系的政策工具和指导思想。当前多边主义危机全面爆发的直接原因,是美国特朗普政府大幅修正其多边主义政策立场造成的。从深层次看,现行多边主义在构建和演变过程中长期受到霸权国家单边主义的制约,无法应对全球化时代的各种挑战,逐渐陷入被边缘化的困境。国际社会迫切需要全球治理,涌现出各种重构多边主义制度的方案与主张。国际权力流散推动多边主义朝着多元化、多层次的网状结构转型,进入一个西方中心色彩减弱、多元行为体相互竞逐的时代。中国有意愿、有能力为多边主义转型贡献智慧与力量,承担起引领多边主义转型的时代责任。

Multilateralism is not only a mode of international interaction and institutional arrangement, but also a policy tool and guiding ideology of the foreign policy of sovereign States. The current multilateralism crisis is directly caused by the Trump Administration’s drastic revision of its multilateral foreign policy. But deeper analysis reveals that the current multilateralism has been unable to deal with challenges of the globalization era and gradually fallen into a dilemma of marginalization. Since it has been constrained by the hegemonic country in the process of its construction and evolution. The international community is in dire need of global governance. There comes various proposals and ideas for restructuring the multilateralism system. The international decentralization has pushed multilateralism to transform into a pluralistic and multi-layered network structure. In which multiple actors compete against each other with less western-centric feature. China is willing and able to contribute its wisdom and strength to the reform of multilateralism, and to shoulder its responsibility for leading the process.
