Abstract

This chapter asks whether the world organization can become fitter for purpose. An essential motivation for getting right the understanding of the Third UN is the need to identify the comparative advantages and disadvantages of the “whole” organization. It is especially challenging to identify how the UN should act in the era of information disorder and public health pandemics, and thus how a variety of knowledge brokers from the Third UN can help the UN think. The task to analyze what the UN can and cannot do, as well as how to make it fitter-for-purpose, should have been undertaken more vigorously and earlier. However, it is even more crucial in the age of new nationalisms and populisms. In light of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic and global economic meltdown, the breakdown of international cooperation and the pressing need for a robust multilateral system could not be more obvious, even if it is not clear to new nationalists.

这一章要问的是,这个世界组织是否能够变得更适合这个目的。正确理解第三联合国的一个基本动机是需要确定“整个”组织的相对优势和劣势。确定联合国在信息混乱和公共卫生大流行的时代应如何行动,以及来自第三届联合国的各种知识掮客如何帮助联合国思考,尤其具有挑战性。分析联合国能做什么和不能做什么,以及如何使其更符合目的,这项任务本应更积极、更早地进行。然而,在新民族主义和民粹主义时代,这一点更为重要。在2020年冠状病毒大流行和全球经济崩溃的背景下,国际合作的崩溃和对强大多边体系的迫切需要再明显不过了,尽管新民族主义者并不清楚。
