Features: The Comparison provides an academic platform for readers on comparative institutional analysis. Standing at the forefront of theory, it selectively introduces the experiences and lessons of other countries, the theories and practices of transition economies, and the developments in the field of comparative research, based on major issues encountered in China's economic reform. Additionally, it focuses on introducing the design of reform plans, policy proposals, and comments from domestic and international academic circles regarding China's economic reform. At the time of this issue's publication, the China-Africa Cooperation Forum is holding its summit. One of the backgrounds of the forum is to jointly address the challenges brought by economic globalization. China and Africa are two sides of the same coin in globalization. Both supporters and opponents of globalization can find arguments supporting their views in the economic development of these two regions. China's reform and opening-up policies have rapidly integrated it into the global economy, achieving over 20 years of remarkable growth. Meanwhile, most African countries remain trapped in poverty. Why does the same process of globalization produce such different effects? What are the underlying mechanisms? Indeed, "globalization" lacks a universally authoritative explanation. Therefore, this issue of The Comparison focuses on globalization as its main topic, aiming to engage with readers.
