From the Paper:

"The emergence of global factories, offices and labs suggests that national governments in both developing and industrialized countries have come to operate within a global production system that "substantially shapes the strategic options as well as policy instruments at their disposal (Camilleri Pp). The income gap between landowners who have the purchasing power to apply new agricultural techniques and the poor peasants who do not, is widening (Camilleri Pp). As of the late 1990's some ninety-three countries with sixty-two percent of the world's population were still struggling to reduce infant mortality rates, and as many as seventy countries had little prospect of substantially reducing income poverty (Camilleri Pp)."
