In the past 65 years, diplomacy – in contrast to business, non-governmental organizations and communications – has made few fundamental changes in its operations. 我们两国政府所实行的传统谈判形式仍在继续。 正在塑造我们作为全球公民如何互动的力量,并没有在外交界产生有效的调整; governments are not harnessing the power of the “global community” that would add a new dimension to our diplomacy. 如今,20国集团提供了一个机会,打破多年来有关机构改革的毫无结果的辩论。

This paper argues that outdated diplomacy contributes to our governments’ failing performance, and proposes four steps the G20 could take quickly that would tap into new sources of international convergence, provide a new collective vision, and offer more productive approaches to the transnational issues that our leaders talk about. 它建议创建一个新的全球召唤,一个由各国政府为21世纪运作的国际和平队。
