The world is moving fast to a more plural distribution of power. Non-Western powers are increasingly bringing their perspectives into the global policy-making process, challenging European and other Western powers. They contribute their own interpretations of global norms to the discussion based on different interests and historical and cultural trajectories. As a result, policy-making on key global challenges ranging from security to humanitarian assistance to human rights to Internet governance becomes more contested.
