Situational crisis containment and intergovernmental difference management remain essential varieties of multilateralism. Growing global challenges, however, require an equally growing willingness to collaborate with selected partners on a long-term and substantial basis. In doing so, the domestic dimension of multilateral cooperation must be constantly reflected in order to preserve political support. The Federal Government’s White Paper “A Multilateralism for the People” carefully embraces such a selective and political multilateralism. Germany’s upcoming G7 presidency in 2022 offers the next government in Berlin the opportunity to further develop this approach.
