摘要：The publication of the Industrial
Development Report 2009 comes
at a time when developing countries
are facing a number of severe
challenges – continued high levels
of poverty, volatile commodity
and food prices, global economic
slowdown triggered by the worst
turbulences seen in international
financial markets for more than a
generation, and the threat of climate change with
potentially irreversible consequences. Meanwhile, the
trend towards globalization has caused dramatic shifts
in the world economy, while the emergence of new
industrial powers is redefining traditional patterns of
production and trade.
