Broader perspective definition
Broader perspective means taking in the world view. The growing interdependence of economies and societies means that emerging risks in developing countries, where monitoring and early warning systems are often inadequate or nonexistent, can rapidly spread. International cooperation and coordination must be strengthened so as to transfer knowledge, skills and technologies and thus close potentially dangerous loopholes in the overall coverage of the monitoring effort. The prospect of new threats from drug-resistant diseases, cyber-terrorism and bio-terrorism only serves to underscore this urgent need.
