????雖然我們嘴上總在說全球社會，但我們的制度和行為往往與這些潮流背道而馳。我們面臨的新現實（復雜、相互關聯并且節奏比以往任何時候都更快）意味著全球合作和全球性解決方案的必要性空前突出。那么，面向21世紀，什么樣的標準能支撐起這樣一個全球性系統呢？

????首先，這樣的系統必須促進合作。它事關我們所有人。政府、企業和民間社會不能各自為政。全球性問題是相互關聯的，而結合多方利益相關者的應對（如公共和私營部門伙伴關系）能帶來創新的解決方案。它們將民間的激情、追求和各種組織與企業的資源和經驗匯聚到一起。

????其次，一個全球性的系統還必須以系統性、綜合性的方式應對挑戰。全球化議程的問題都是相互關聯的，但我們目前的系統過于部門化：世界貿易組織（World Trade Organization）管貿易，世界衛生組織（World Health Organization）管衛生，而國際貨幣基金組織（International Monetary Fund）則管金融。我們還必須建立必要的相互聯系性，以保證連貫性。例如，我們如何在20國集團（G-20）和聯合國（United Nations）之間取得最佳平衡？我們怎樣才能更好地動員非政府活動者？我們需要靈活的網絡，它們需要更多的異質結構、更少的等級結構。

????第三，這個系統應該是戰略性的，而不是由危機驅動的。我們大部分的精力都沒有用在主動措施上，而是耗費在了反應性的應對措施上。總是圍繞危機管理做文章，而不考慮未來，結果會導致防守性的態度。我們必須適應不斷變化的世界，而不是捍衛過時的模式。

????第四，一個全球系統必須始終展現合理性。如今，這已經超越了基于民主原則的授命；它包括清晰的目標和具體的結果。我們無疑存在承諾與行動不一致的問題。而且，由于所承諾的行動并未得到履行，我們在政府、國際組織和企業層面都存在“信任赤字”問題。

????最后，我們的全球治理系統必須認可全球公民的理念。在一個互聯的世界，對于那些尋找應對真正全球性挑戰（如氣候變化）的國家而言，這符合它們的利益。如今，我們不僅需要一個人權憲章，更需要擴展這個概念，涵蓋責任問題。

????作為一個全球性的社會，我們要依賴制度和程序的運行來管理我們的全球社區。將這五大標準整合到我們的全球系統中是一大考驗，但如果我們不這樣做的話，我們只能繼續采用局部療法，頭痛醫頭，腳痛醫腳，無法有效應對從根本上需要全盤掌握的那些問題。

????We talk of being a global community, but our institutions and behaviors tend to run counter to these currents. Our new reality -- complex, interconnected, and faster than ever -- means that the need for global cooperation and global solutions has never been greater. So what criteria should underpin a global system for the 21st century?

????First, such a system must foster cooperation. We're all in this together. Governments, business, and civil society cannot do it on their own. Global issues are interrelated, and multi-stakeholder responses such as public-private partnerships bring innovative solutions to the table. They engage the passion, purpose, and networks of civil society with the resources and experience of business.

????Next, a global system must also approach challenges in a systemic, integrated way. The issues on the global agenda are all interrelated, but our current system is too compartmentalized: the World Trade Organization for trade, the World Health Organization for health, and the International Monetary Fund for finance. We also have to establish the necessary interlinkages to create coherence. For example, how do we strike the optimal balance between the G-20 and the United Nations? How do we best engage nongovernmental actors? We need flexible networks -- more heterarchies, fewer hierarchies.

????Third, the system should be strategic, not crisis-driven. Most of our energy is currently absorbed by reactive rather than proactive measures. Managing crises instead of thinking about the future leads to defensive attitudes. We must adapt to a changing world, not defend outdated models.

????Fourth, a global system must continually demonstrate legitimacy. Today, this goes beyond mandates based on democratic principles; it includes clear objectives and concrete results. We undoubtedly have a delivery problem. And since promised actions are not fulfilled, we also have a trust deficit with governments, international organizations, and business.

????Finally, our global governance system must embrace the notion of global citizenship. In an interconnected world, it is in the interest of nation-states to strive for solutions to truly global challenges, such as climate change. Today, we not only need a Charter of Human Rights, but must also expand this notion to include responsibilities.

????As a global community, we depend on the functioning of institutions and processes to manage our global neighborhood. Integrating these five criteria into our global system will be challenging, but if we don't, we will continue applying topical treatments to conditions that fundamentally require global cardiac care.
