Features: This book takes economic globalization as its background and developing countries as its research subjects, exploring the main issues faced by developing countries in international relations today. Starting with an examination of the reality of the division of power and the weakening overall role of developing countries in the process of economic globalization and the multipolarization of international politics, the book further analyzes the development and new characteristics of North-South relations in the process of economic globalization. It provides a specific analysis of the international issues currently faced by developing countries, such as state sovereignty, human rights, international terrorism, ethnic issues, religious issues, and regional hotspots, and proposes the author's new perspectives. Finally, from the perspective of China's overall strategy, it explores the ideas of three generations of Chinese leaders on strengthening relations with developing countries and puts forward policy recommendations for China's approach to developing countries in the early 21st century. This book can serve as a textbook for postgraduate and undergraduate students majoring in international studies, as well as for teachers, scholars, and readers interested in national issues.
