As a historical trend, world multipolarization only appeared in the 1990s.

After the end of World War II, the Yalta system marked the formation of a bipolar pattern: on the one hand, the Eastern bloc headed by the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, the Western camp headed by the United States. The contradiction and struggle between the two camps has become the main contradiction in the world. Since the 1960s, a series of Asian and African countries have become independent. Some countries in the two camps are dissatisfied with the control of the superpowers, showing a strong tendency of independence, and there are cracks and even open conflicts within the camps.

In the early 1990s, with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the bipolar pattern officially ended, and the trend of world multipolarization emerged. 1In April, 1997, the leaders of China and Russia issued a joint statement, clearly proposing the idea of multi-polarization of the world and the establishment of a new international order; Europe and many third world countries also advocate developing their own economies independently, strengthening regional cooperation, and opposing any form of hegemonism and power politics. World multipolarization has become a historical trend. After the cold war, the United States became the only superpower in the world. This situation, on the one hand, makes the American government's desire to dominate the world even more inflated, and therefore it has stepped up its foreign policy of hegemonism and unilateralism. On the other hand, the old balance has been broken, and it is difficult to establish a new balance for a while. The space left by the disintegration of the bipolar pattern is objectively conducive to the development of multipolarization. Great changes have taken place in the relations between major powers, including hostile countries during the Cold War. Many countries, including American allies, demand that the United States respect each other, be equal and mutually beneficial, and promote the development and prosperity of the same country through dialogue and cooperation. This makes it increasingly difficult for the United States to pursue a unilateral expansion policy. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia's national strength dropped sharply, but after some twists and turns, it finally maintained a balanced diplomacy between the East and the West on the premise of independence. Coupled with the vast territory, rich resources, strong military industry and national defense left over from the Soviet era, it still maintains its status as a big country politically and militarily. The speed and scale of European unity, independence and self-improvement have attracted much attention. The EU implemented the Maastricht Treaty, expanded and improved the * * * common market, issued the euro, established a monetary union, further promoted the * * * common foreign policy and defense plan, carried out a unified constitutional reform, expanded the EU and NATO, and made Europe quietly become an important member in a pluralistic world. They made their own voices, put forward their own ideas and established their own.

(2) the meaning of world multipolarization

Multi-polarization in the world refers to a development trend that basic political forces such as countries and groups of countries that have a prominent influence on international relations interact with each other in a certain period of time and tend to form a multi-polarization pattern, which is a reflection of the distribution of major political forces in the world.

(3) At present, the performance of multi-polarization in the world: one super is more powerful.

The comprehensive national strength of the United States is the strongest in the world and the only superpower today.

Japan is the second economic power in the world after the United States, and it seeks political power status on the basis of maintaining its economic power status.

The process of European integration is accelerating, and the strength of the European Union composed of 25 countries is constantly increasing.

Russia is still a world power with great economic, scientific and technological potential and strong military strength.

⑤ China's economic strength is increasing day by day, its comprehensive national strength ranks among the top in the world, and its international status has been significantly improved, which has played an important role in maintaining world peace and promoting economic development.

The overall strength of developing countries has gradually increased and their status has risen, making them an important force that cannot be ignored in the international arena.

(4) the inevitability of multipolarization in the world

The most fundamental reason is that the imbalance of world economic development after the war has changed the balance of world political power.

(2) The trend of multipolarization is not accidental. It was conceived in the evolution of the bipolar pattern. After the end of the bipolar pattern, the relations between major powers have undergone major and profound adjustments, and the international pattern has developed towards multipolarization.

The fundamental reason for the development of multi-polarization is that countries will never sacrifice or give up their own interests in order to safeguard their own interests and succumb to the interests of other countries, thus leading to the development of multi-polarization in the world.

(4) The trend of multipolarization is developing in the struggle against hegemonism. After the end of the cold war, hegemonism's attempt to pursue unipolar has not changed, but more and more countries support and agree with the development of world multipolarization.

The multipolarization of the world pattern is an inevitable result of the development of international relations and an objective trend that is independent of human will. The evolution of the world pattern after the Second World War has experienced a tortuous development process from the opposition between the two camps to the hegemony of the two superpowers, and then to the end of the bipolar pattern and the multipolarization of the world. The bipolar pattern based on the Yalta system formed after the Second World War ended the history that capitalist powers dominated the world and the international pattern was centered on Europe. The main feature of post-war international relations is the "Cold War", which is manifested in the sharp political opposition between the capitalist camp headed by the United States and the Eastern bloc headed by the Soviet Union, the economic blockade and anti-blockade, and the ideological evolution and anti-evolution. After the 1960s, the hegemonism in Soviet foreign policy changed rapidly, Sino-Soviet relations broke down, and the Eastern Group gradually disintegrated. Subsequently, the global hegemony of the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, replaced the opposition between the two camps. With the rise of some countries' economic and political forces, and quickly becoming a new strategic force with great influence on the world, the bipolar pattern has been hit and weakened by new shocks. There has been great turmoil, division and reorganization on the international stage. The world pattern is gradually developing towards multipolarization. /kloc-0 In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the disintegration of the Soviet Union marked the end of the bipolar pattern that existed for more than 40 years. Since the end of the cold war, various forces in the world have changed. Although the balance of world power is seriously unbalanced, the trend of world pattern towards multipolarization is becoming more and more obvious. The coexistence of a superpower and various forces is the basic trend of world power balance in a long transition period before the multipolarization pattern is finally formed.

Multi-polarization of the international pattern is the requirement of the progress of the times and conforms to the interests of people of all countries. The multi-polar pattern gradually forms a relationship of interdependence and checks and balances, which is conducive to avoiding the outbreak of a new world war, curbing hegemonism and power politics, promoting the establishment of a just and rational new international political and economic order, and realizing the beautiful pursuit of a peaceful, stable and prosperous new world by people of all countries. It is also conducive to developing countries to seize opportunities and develop themselves. However, we should also see that the final formation of world multipolarization will go through a long, tortuous and complicated evolution process. In this process, the contradiction between unipolar and multipolar, the struggle between hegemony and anti-hegemony will become the focus of long-term international struggle. Competition in cooperation and cooperation in competition have become an important feature of the development of multipolarization in the world.

In the struggle of multipolarization and unilateralism in the world structure, military power is still the key factor. The great powers in the world, especially the United States, regard the establishment of a strong national defense force as a breakthrough to seize the commanding heights of the new international pattern. Some military powers in the world are carrying out the most extensive and profound military adjustment since the Second World War, the essence of which is to strengthen military strength, strengthen the function and role of safeguarding and expanding national interests, and seek to occupy and compete for a favorable position in the process of multipolarization of the world structure. 18960.6886868866 17

In the increasingly fierce competition of comprehensive national strength, the status of economy and science and technology is becoming more and more important. Economic strength is the foundation of national strength. Strong economic and technological strength is the fundamental condition for becoming a pole in the world. Therefore, all countries give priority to economic development. Whether the multipolarization of the world pattern can become a reality depends, in the final analysis, on whether the economy of the world's major power centers can develop rapidly and whether the economy of developing countries can take off. If China wants to play the role of a big country in the trend of multipolarization of the world structure, it must constantly enhance its comprehensive national strength.
