We must live on different planets.  Mine's not even multipolar, it's heteropolar.  Power is varyingly dispersed in different policy spaces across a growing range of actors, state and non-state.

Given that NAM's members include all Reporters Without Borders' Enemies of the Internet and almost all of its Countries Under Surveillance http://en.rsf.org/beset-by-online-surveillance-and-12-03-2012,42061.html (including India) it will certainly be an interesting development if it begins to play a leading role in efforts to establish a more just world with respect to the issues that are nominally the focus of this list.  Issuing a declaration incanting the Peoples Daily of China editorial would not be evidence of movement in that direction.

Cheers

Bill
