Nice formulation, Olivier. But suppose we called it "popular sovereignty" and "individual rights" instead of "multistakeholderism" -  would that not allow individuals, in various aggregations, to produce the appropriate mix of law, order, economy and conscience? Is not the division into three estates (with millions of individuals overlapping and participating in two or more at the same time) artificial?
