Features: Since the 1980s, the term "globalization" has frequently appeared in Western media and has gradually evolved into a concept that has been widely by media worldwide, accepted by all countries, and recognized as a common idea of the new economic era that encompasses politics, economics, culture, and society, transcending national and ethnic boundaries. Today, globalization is in full swing and has become one of the hot topics of universal concern and in-depth discussion in the international community. China's entry into the WTO has further integrated it into the global economic stream. How to use this platform to actively participate, seek benefits while avoiding harms, and respond to challenges is an important issue we face today. Since the term "globalization" first emerged in Western media in the 1980s, it has now become a familiar and highly term. Particularly after China's entry into the WTO, globalization has become increasingly close to us, and the issue of globalization has been raised to a completely new level. As is well known, China needs the world, and the world needs China. A more open China needs to integrate into a more open world. However, as we deeply feel the wave of globalization coming our way, we realize that we know too little about it. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the historical process, essential characteristics, positive effects, negative impacts, development trends, close connections with related fields, and how to seize opportunities, meet challenges, and resolve contradictions of globalization. It offers detailed explanations of various aspects of globalization, such as trade globalization, production globalization, financial globalization, information globalization, and cultural globalization. It also analyzes the relationship between globalization and regional cooperation, national security, and proposes its own insights on the pros and cons of globalization and the coordination mechanisms in the context of globalization. This book is currently one of the most comprehensive works on globalization.
