Features: In the study of North-South relations, this is the most outstanding work I have read. It combines rigorous theoretical analysis with meticulous empirical arguments, providing an important political stance. Over a considerable period, this book will be repeatedly read and cited by politicians, and in a broader context, it is essential and thought-provoking for understanding American foreign policy and the future of the international system. This book is a highly innovative and distinctive work in international political economy, international institutionalism, and North-South relations. From a methodological perspective, it organically integrates economic explanation and power explanation, proposing a completely different analytical perspective—revised structuralism. It fully utilizes the variables of state power and international institutions, logically describing their correlations with international political outcomes.
