Features: This book is divided into seven chapters. In the first chapter, after introducing the views of domestic and foreign scholars on what international economic relations politicalization is, it further clarifies the basic connotation of "international economic relations politicalization" and deeply explains the essential differences of international economic relations politicalization, as well as the methodological foundation for studying it. The second chapter, based on the definition of international economic relations politicalization in the first chapter, conducts theoretical analysis on three main issues: the historical development, main characteristics, and basic nature of international economic relations politicalization, further grasping the international economic relations politicalization defined in this book as a whole. The third chapter illustrates that politicalization phenomena exist among the four major characteristics of contemporary international economic relations: globalization, regionalization, institutionalization, and informatization. The fourth chapter conducts an empirical analysis of the politicalization of contemporary international trade relations, specifically explaining how international trade relations have become an effective means for countries to achieve international political goals, even becoming part of national strategy, directly impacting the realization and fulfillment of national interests, and ultimately effectively coordinating and controlling the relationships between countries' interests based on the distribution of international trade benefits. The fifth chapter conducts an empirical analysis of the politicalization of contemporary international financial relations, specifically explaining how international trade relations have become an effective means for countries to achieve international political goals, even becoming part of national strategy, directly impacting the realization and fulfillment of national interests, and ultimately effectively coordinating and controlling the relationships between countries' interests based on the distribution of international trade benefits. The sixth chapter conducts an empirical analysis of the politicalization of contemporary international investment relations, specifically explaining how international trade relations have become an effective means for countries to achieve international political goals, even becoming part of national strategy, directly impacting the realization and fulfillment of national interests, and ultimately effectively coordinating and controlling the relationships between countries' interests based on the distribution of international trade benefits. The seventh chapter elaborates on the impact of international economic relations politicalization on the development of international politics and global economic growth, as well as its influence on China's foreign activities, and explores what strategic measures China should adopt to respond to international economic relations politicalization in the context where it has become a basic trend of contemporary international relations.
