Features: This book takes economic globalization as its background and developing countries as its research subjects, exploring the major issues faced by developing countries in international relations today. It begins by examining 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. It then analyzes the development and new characteristics of North-South relations in the process of economic globalization. The book provides a specific analysis of the international issues currently facing 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, it discusses the ideas of three generations of Chinese leaders on strengthening relations with developing countries from a strategic perspective and offers policy recommendations for China's policies toward developing countries in the early 21st century. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate and undergraduate students majoring in international studies, as well as for teachers, scholars, and readers interested in national issues.
