I. The rise of the worlds great powers
Following the world with world influence
The reason why we pay attention to the "rise of great powers" is not only because the great powers have created the trend of world history, but also because of understanding the historical logic, development path and impact of the rise of the great power, we recognize us to understand the changes in the global pattern and insight into the country.Competition and cooperation between them are of great significance.
The "big country" in history discussed by Teacher Qian is not a "big country" in the sense of large land, large population, rich resources, etc., but refers to different regions and in different regions and in the 15th century.After the increase in communication between civilization, the "world power" that has gradually influenced the world.
CCTV documentary "Rise of the Great Power"
There was no "big country" before. Since the 15th century, countries that can affect the appearance of the entire world have emerged.A country that changes has a significant impact .
Using this standard to measure, nine countries in the world used to be or now they are the worlds great powers. They are: Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands; the United Kingdom, France; Germany, Japan;U.S.
"World Power" is based on the "world system" that rely on the global integration pattern of capitalism, and has played a key role in global changes.A "significant impact" was produced.
2. The mystery behind the rise
Mainly these features
Why does some countries rise, others decline?What is the inner motivation of the rise and fall of great powers?
Teacher Qian not only explained the process of history, but also discussed the thoughts and truths, and revealed the inherent mechanism of the rise and fall of the great power for readers.He pointed out that history itself has thoughts and truths; the history of academic qualifications must not only understand the process of history, but also learn the truth of history.
"The Great Power of the World" has some common characteristics, although it appears in different historical periods.First of all, each "big country" has the strong economic foundation and comprehensive strength . Its economic power was a leading position at the time, providing solid support for its national strength.This economic force not only promotes the improvement of national strength, but also its material guarantee that affects the world.Economically leading these countries has strong strength and can occupy an important position on the international stage.
The center of the UK to the European stage can be attributed to the model learned from Portugal and Spain, that is, "authoritarianism+corporateism" .However, the advantage of Britain was that it later found a political system that suits you, surpassing Portugal and Spain, which is the second characteristic of the rise of great powers.

The worlds great country also has the integration national system and social structure to ensure that policies and resources can be effectively coordinated.The system and structure are indispensable in the operation of a country, but the key to the "big world" is that its system can coordinate from top to bottom to avoid internal consumption and concentrate strength.It is worth noting that the system and structure are not divided into "good" and "bad", but meet the needs of the times.Only by adapting to the needs of the times can a big country support the impact in the world.
In history, the British industrial revolution brought tremendous pressure on France, but the rigidity of France due to the rigidity of the autocratic system led to the economic revolution and politics of politics.The revolution erupted at the same time and was completed.The picture shows the February Revolution in France in 1848, and the dynasty fell down in July.
In addition to hard power, these countries also have extensive culture and spiritual attractiveness .EssenceAs a manifestation of soft power, cultural influence does not necessarily require elegance or tradition, but it must be able to attract and infect the people of other countries internationally.
Because of this, although some culture is not regarded as "noble", it has become a global trend with its unique attraction, such as the popular culture of the United States.Through soft power, these big powers can subtly affect other countries without using force.
As the book pointed out that American culture almost destroyed the excellent cultural tradition of Europe, but it was popular all over the world because it was influential.
Finally, "World Power" must have global strategic influence and can promote its national interests in international affairs.Whether through diplomatic and force display, the existence of influence has led these countries to play a leading role in the global pattern.
Foreign strategy is often the first choice for a large country to impact, which not only shows the overall strength of the country, but also calmly promotes its global layout.Because of this ability, the most powerful country is often the most international influential country.
These characteristics define the "big country". Although the great power does not necessarily have all characteristics, these factors constitute the core of the country.
Three, facing a big change in a century
We must be fully prepared
The worlds big power and the changes of the times are closely related. Each era has "big powers". Each "big country" is a manifestation of the characteristics of its era and the spirit of the spirit of that era.
What is the particularity of this era?Teacher Qian pointed out in blood that the 21st century was undergoing major reorganizations. The four lines met in todays world, forming a "" Big " .
The first line is the evolution of production methods and changes in social forms. Humans from the original fishing and hunting collection, through agriculture, industry, and todays information and intelligent eras, each progress of production methods has promoted social change, and the current transformation is particularly far -reaching.
The transformation of the production method determines the change of human society. This is the most important and decisive line of the worlds new changes.
The second line is the development of civilization and the evolution of the world structure. The rise of the West in the 15th century, turning the trend of "advanced Eastern and Western backward"; began in the 20th century, the world has set off a wave of getting rid of colonial rule and striving to catch up with modernization.Almost all of the core areas of human ancient civilizations, the result of "return of civilization" will change the world pattern of "developed western developed and the East is not developed".
The third line is the evolution of the international system. The international system is a balanced product that has achieved in the competition of large powers. Each international system is the result of re -combining international status after fierce fighting.In this era, it is an era of vacancy in the system. The old system has disintegrated, and the new system has not yet appeared. People are waiting for the formation of a new system.
The Yalta system formed after World War II established the world structure led by the United States and the Soviet Union.However, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union at the end of the 20th century, the Yarta system collapsed, and the United States once dominated the world, but this situation failed to last, and the world quickly entered the era of coexistence of many countries.The picture shows the three giants in the Yalta meeting: Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin.
The above three lines are gathered at the beginning of the 21st century. The fourth line is Chinas development. In the process of modernization, all countries face three tasks: one is to build a modern country, the other is to develop the modern economy, and the third is to build a modern society.
For China, in the three tasks, the first task is basically completed. In addition to Taiwan, a modern country has appeared.In the second task, China has achieved world -renowned achievements, and a modern economic system has been completed; it is necessary to continue to work hard to build a stronger, more advanced, and more solid economic capabilities to lead the world globally.But the third task is at the beginning of the beginning. The most difficult task in China is now building modern society.
Teacher Qian pointed out that Chinas development line and the above three world historical patterns happened to be converged today in the 21st century, which triggered the real "new world change bureau".In the long river of human history, there have never been four lines that meet at the same time. This is a moment of great changes. We should make full preparations to cope with the change.
