摘要

As UN Secretary-General from 1997 until 2006, Kofi Annan helped engineer the adoption of a “Global Governance 2.0” to renew the multilateral system built in 1944–1949. It was based on five principles prioritizing multistakeholderism; holism; global health and pandemics, human rights, civil society and democratic governance; and development led by countries based on partnership and debt relief. Practitioner-scholar Abiodun Williams vividly portrays Annan’s methods as norm entrepreneur on all five. Seen in United Nations and World Bank reform efforts, “Global Governance 3.0” is needed. It depends not on abandoning, but more fully realizing these five principles of inclusion as a correction for overemphasis of nation-states in global institutions like the UN, World Bank, IMF, and the WTO, and regional ones like ASEAN. This path is especially true in the imperative of global health and pandemics, success on which depends on implementing the other four elements rather than backsliding on them.
