From the Paper:

"Many Developmental States come under intense pressure as a result of the talent, technology, capital, and institutions brought into a regional or small market by large-scale multi-national enterprises from developed nations. Trade between nations that are not at the same level of expertise can introduce an imbalance in the economic field of the less developed nations. Unbalanced trade relations can create a disparity of wealth and resources between countries and introduce the culture of haves and have-nots between nations. An unbalanced trade relationship can also impose on a nation the burden of lower trade surpluses and stability of the economy in the country. (Cohen and Stephen, 1991.)"
