Features: As humanity has entered the new millennium, world politics has undergone profound changes. This book objectively analyzes a series of major events on the world political stage (e.g., the Gulf War, the upheaval in Eastern Europe, European unification, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, etc.) to discuss the changes in the international system after the 1990s and their impacts. It also examines the various political forces acting on the international system and their dynamics, establishing a theoretical framework for analyzing the new landscape of world politics. The book offers unique insights into themes such as the nature of world politics, the structural characteristics of the international system, the "European New Order," the "World New Order," the "United Nations Intervention Mechanism," multipolar politics, the social world, and the economic world. It is the seminal work of the internationally renowned international relations scholar Ernst-Otto Czemper, helping readers understand the trends of world politics and the variables affecting China's reform and opening-up in the international environment.
