Governments’ ability to respond to global challenges is a more general problem. Globalization – the breaking down of national boundaries and the integration of economies across continents – has resulted in burgeoning demands on governments at the same time that their ability to provide answers has been reduced.
更普遍的问题是政府应对全球挑战的能力。全球化（打破国界和各大洲经济一体化）导致在政府解决问题能力下降的同时政府服务需求快速增长。换言之，政府服务的供给无法满足需求。
