Résumé : The chapter looks first at the three periods of history of multilateral cooperation amongst states, second at the current legitimacy and efficiency gaps and third at the future alternative scenarios. On the one hand, a fragmented and contingent, instrumental multilateral cooperation is emerging within the current multipolar world. On the other, the EU experience looks as a laboratory for a broader tendency towards a new multilateral global agenda: even the various cooperation cultures characterizing the old and emergent powers and regional entities abroad look as not entirely incompatible with the need of limiting the current implementation gaps, spreading up diffuse reciprocity and improving the contingent legitimacy of the twentieth century.
