Some Thoughts on ＂Harmonious Globalization＂

This article argues that ＂Harmonious Globalization＂ offers a platform for harmonizing the positive and negative aspects of the current U.S.-led economic globalization that reflects the objective laws of human development. The article attempts to chart the path ahead for the world economy in the context of economic globalization, pervasive poverty/inequality, the resultant worldwide political awakening, the degradation of global ecosystems, and the current turmoil in financial institutions. The global challenge ahead will be three-fold： to bring the excluded 1/3 of the world＇s population into the open trade system; to encourage emerging markets like China and India to carry on with open policies and to persuade the developed Western nations to adhere to an open trade system and resist the temptations of trade protectionism. Free market access should be offered to those marginalized countries, the so-called ＂failed or failing states＂ that have been excluded from and angered by the globalization process. The growth in prosperity of these nations will open up a vast potential market for the world.     

Thoughts on the Evolving World Order

International order, as a model for or arrangement of external activities primarily among nations has in fact evolved out of anarchy into two parts, or aspects ——one subjective, the other objective. Its subjective aspect refers to the goals and behavioral styles of sovereignty states as basic actors of international activities, which are individualistic (in term of nations), changeable and therefore unstable in nature; whereas its objective aspect points to agreement or consensus, reached ei…     

Special Political Dynamics

The Indian people eventually won their independence in 1947 through a forced peaceful transfer of power by the British after years of struggles with Indian flavor of movement of non-violence and non-coop- eration led by Mahatma Gandhi. The basic structure of the British-style parliamentary democracy has been kept intact in the post-independence years. It has won praise from the Western nations calling India "the largest democracy in the world "and become the pride of Indian academic and pol…     

Coercive/Institutional Hegemony and U. S. Status

Since the end of the Cold War, the world structure and America's status in the world have become important topics in international rela- tions. There have appeared three views about U. S. status in the post- Cold War years. The first view is that a unilateral system has been es- tablished, and the United States is the only pole dominating the inter- national system. Other nations including the second-class ones are not qualified to be poles. According to the second point of view, after the…     

The Rise of China: The Sustained Development of the World System or the End of It? *

It has been a controversial issue in the past thirty-odd years in academic circles at home and abroad whether China’s economic rise as a unique development model sustains and supplements the world system or brings an end to it. This article makes an analysis of the basic features of the three historical stages of the world system established 500 years ago from the perspective of the relationship between the world system and the rise and fall of countries. The analysis finds that the stages of mercantilism (1500-1750/1800), liberal economy (1800/1850-1914/1945) and mixed economy (1945-2030) were mainly based respectively on “geographical discovery” and “colonialism,” “industrial revolution” and “free trade,” and “economic globalization” and “system innovation.” For the above-mentioned reasons, “geographical discovery,” “international trade and finance,” “science and technology” and “international institutions and mechanisms” are the four fundamental driving forces that the world system has depended on for its existence for 500 years. The world system provided a context for the rise and fall of each individual country in the past 500 years, while the economic success China has achieved in the past three decades mainly benefits from its constant integration into this world system still in existence today. Therefore, the challenge to China in its future development will come, to a great extent, from the world system and its impact on China’s domestic politics, economy and social structure.     

New Changes in the International Situation and China's Strategic Choices

Viewing U. S. in Comparison with the EU

To make an assessment of the changes in the trend of U. S. status in international politics and world economy, beside development and e- volvement of the United States history, rise and fall of other nations should also be brought into consideration.
