And for 70 years, actually 70 years, dating back to 1944 in Bretton Woods, the model has been that states cooperate together through diplomacy, state-based institutions, or through some kind of direct action to solve problems.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:9.0pt;line-height:12.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333'>And if you look at the world today, many of the problems that we have are not only stalled, they’re getting worse. So are they just too hard to solve, or is our model wrong? Well, enter a whole bunch of new factors: one of them is technology, and that’s radically dropping transaction and collaboration costs. In the private sector, it’s leading to deep changes in the architecture and structure of the firm and of how we orchestrate capability to innovate, to create goods and services, and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:9.0pt;line-height:12.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333'>In the public sector, it’s changing the way that we get capability to create public value. Why wouldn’t that affect the way that we get capability to solve the problems in the world? Why couldn’t we disaggregate that process and start to bring together new partnerships, new multistakeholder networks?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:9.0pt;line-height:12.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333'>A second thing that’s happening is we’ve got the rise of the new “pillars of society,” in addition to government. There were no corporations at Bretton Woods in 1944, because they weren’t viewed as being pillars of society. Companies were just these things that made money for shareholders and created goods and services.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:12.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333'>There were also no NGOs<a href="http://www.mckinsey.com/insights/strategy/The_flow_of_governance_An_interview_with_Don_Tapscott?cid=other-eml-alt-mgi-mck-oth-1405"><sup><span style='font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#0065BD;text-decoration:none'>1</span></sup></a> at Bretton Woods, because there weren’t any. There were 50 NGOs in the world in 1944. Now we’ve got these new forces, and they’re coming together into something that’s very, very powerful. They’re multistakeholder networks, I call them global solution networks. They’re engaging tens of thousands of organizations—companies, governments, civil society—and tens of millions of people on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='margin-bottom:9.0pt;line-height:12.75pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";color:#333333'>And they’re becoming material in the world.

So the UN is starting to figure this out. There are a lot of people who say the UN is no longer fit for function and we should get rid of it and so on. I disagree with that. States will be around for the foreseeable future, and we need them to cooperate together.

A position which de facto prevent civil society from having role at all. I guess that is just a side effect? There are problems with private sector involvement but is is diverse stakeholder having SME and big corporate, preventing it from participation doesn't match democratic values you are mentioning .<br><br>With the state-based model that you are defending, do you really think that Tunisian government during wsis 2005 was really representing Tunisian citizens? It will be just ironic while you are mentioning the right of people for self-determination. The state-based model is heaven for all non democratic governments of the world ,and there are so many, because they will silence easily any possible dissent voicing at global level against their policies.<br><br>Multistaholderism allowed me , the Tunisian and coming from developing region to participate in such process , but at least I have the decency to not pretend speaking for all the
