| Abstract: | Globalization has ushered in new political conditions and new politicalissues which goes beyond modernity. Internal politics and international politics, twopolitical layers of the framework of modern political thinking, cannot effectivelyexpound and solve political problems on the global scale, hence the need to introducea global political analytical framework befitting the new global conditions. In contrastwith modern political thinking which is based on the concept of hostile and competitivegame, globalization has promoted universalization of knowledge, information andtechnology, and consequently symmetrical imitation of strategies will bring nogains but self-destruction. Moreover, with the high interdependency in economy andexistence resulting from globalization, a new power, made up of global capital, sharedtechnology and common media, is exerting its networked global dominance. This newpower derives its authority not from its strength but from service, and its new powerformula is: service is power. Thus the challenge for the global politics is not hostilecompetition but the optimization of co-existence. The new all-under heaven system,based on non-exclusive co-existence, holds the best chance to the resolution of politicaland economic problems on the global scale and world peace. |
