| multilateral agreement Multilateralism stands for a long-held but rarely achieved ideal, namely the voluntary co-operation of nations for peace and development. Multilateral initiatives are undermined or diluted by ultra-nationalist, bilateral and regional initiatives. Multilateralism may be undercut by the uncoordinated decisions of those contributing to it. Multilateralism constitutes the democracy of international society. An enlightened multilateralism enhances the specific interests of states while advancing their common cause | 多边协议 (多边主义代表长期坚守但很少达到的理想，即以和平与发展为目的国家间的自愿合作。多边运动受到极端民族主义、双边和地区主义的破坏或削弱。多边主义可以由它参与方做出的不对等的决定而受到削弱。多边主义构成了国际社会的民主。一个开明的多边主义在促进他们的共同事业发展的同时也加强各国的具体利益。) |
