Features: This book can serve as a textbook for "Contemporary World Politics and Economy" courses in teacher training universities, as well as an academic work on contemporary international issues. It conducts in-depth research and discussion on topics such as the development of contemporary world politics and economy after World War II, the evolution and trends of the world political and economic landscape, the themes of peace and development, the new international political and economic order, the role of international organizations like the United Nations, and several major forces in the contemporary international community. It particularly offers academic insights into the relationship between the new technological revolution and the contemporary world politics and economy, as well as the impact of international cooperation and competition and global issues on world politics and economy. The authors argue that the world today is undergoing transformation and turbulence, with the new technological revolution and global issues increasingly becoming significant factors influencing world politics and international relations. The new technological revolution has boosted global economic growth, led to major changes in the world political landscape, and accelerated the formation and development of new international relationships. Meanwhile, the development of international competition and cooperation, along with the enhanced role of international organizations, has sped up the institutionalization of international relations, gradually replacing the state of chaos with order. The emergence and evolution of global issues have also prompted countries to shift from a mindset of mutual opposition, contradiction, and conflict to one of mutual cooperation and seeking common ground while reserving differences. This approach acknowledges each nation's interests while recognizing mutual interdependence and the unity of contradictions among countries. The emergence and resolution of global issues have led governments to seek common ground and continuously strengthen cooperation, driving the coordination and collaboration of international relations and the international community to deeper levels.
