The international situation in 2002 presented an extremely complex and diverse picture to the world. After the "9·11" attacks, the global anti-terrorism war led by the United States became the focal point, bringing about many new characteristics and issues in international relations and regional conflicts, as well as continuous adaptation and adjustments in major-country relations. So, how should the overall international situation be viewed, and what are the advantages and disadvantages for China's foreign policy? How should the new dynamics of major-country relations and strategic adjustments (such as the new round of interactions between Russia, the United States, and China) be analyzed? How should the current status and trends of global arms control and disarmament be assessed, and the direction of future international conflicts be grasped? How should the new situations and issues in China's surrounding security be understood and addressed to avoid unfavorable scenarios? How should the emergence of increasingly diverse actors in international relations be explained, such as various forms of terrorism, anti-globalization movements, ecological protection organizations, refugee crises and their advocates, and non-mainstream political manifestos? How can the decision-making process of foreign policy and regional integration in the era of globalization be deeply explored theoretically? For all these questions, comprehensive and in-depth analysis and research have been conducted.
