Multilateralism is a term in international relations that refers to multiple countries working in concert on a given issue.

International organizations, such as the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization are multilateral in nature. The main proponents of multilateralism have traditionally been the middle powers such as Canada, Australia, Switzerland, the Benelux countries and the Nordic countries. Larger states often act unilaterally, while the smaller ones may have little direct power at all in international affairs aside from participation in the United Nations (by consolidating their UN vote in a voting bloc with other nations, for example). Multilateralism may involve multiple nations acting together as in the UN or may involve regional or military alliances, pacts, or groupings such as NATO.

The converse of multilateralism is unilateralism in terms of political philosophy.

salary expectation for Banking executive in a multilateral bank?
Q. salary expectation for Banking executive in a multilateral bank?
Asked by Kwame - Mon Aug 3 03:37:25 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Banking executives are kind of in a state of flux at the moment. With the failing economy and continuation of the bonus practice of major corporations, there has been an out cry against executives across the board for taking more money than necessary. This means the our entire economic system is being questioned, and a new one may be developed. This means executives will probably take a huge pay cut, and have added responsibility. The salary depends on the bank, bonuses and the market.
