This book is the result of a research sub-topic, titled as "The
Relations of the Two Systems and China's Foreign Strategies in the
Process of Globalization in the Post-Cold War Era." The main
research project topic was "International Political Economy and
China's Diplomatic Strategies in the Era of Globalization" (Project
211) undertaken by Renmin University of China. This Research had
started in 2003 with group members from World Socialism Research
Institute, School of International Studies under Renmin University
of China. Globalism is a new objective trend motivated by
capitalism and poses important and new challenges to both
capitalism and socialism since its vigorous development in 1990s.
Its content, modes, prospects and relation to capitalism and
socialism has been a major pressing and controversial issue debated
between and among socialist movements. It demands a creative
renewal of ideas and the socialist mode of development and also
prepares new conditions in which socialism can flourish. The last
two decades of the 20th century recorded dramatic and radical
changes in capitalism, the world political configuration and
especially the world socialist and left movement. As the main part
of the world socialist movement, the countries struggling for the
cause of a socialist and communist future fell into grave setbacks
and diverse forms of crises and many of them could not cure the
deeply rooted problems posed in their development and construction
efforts. One major root of the problem had been the relationship of
socialist construction to existing capitalism and its realistic
capabilities. Some countries through trial, error and tortuous
efforts opened a brand new mode of socialist construction and a new
type of engagement with external capitalism contrasting the
previous mode of socialist construction. This transformation-with
variations in time, pace and other characteristics-was generally
carried out gradually and cautiously. This was called reform and
opening up in China, Vietnam and Cuba. As compared to the previous
mode-under their sovereignty-they have been allowing a certain
degree of external capitalism in their territories and have
adjusted the ideological and political superstructure to the whole
new mode of socialist construction and reform. The socialist and
left movement in the rest of the world had greatly reflected
developments in the socialist countries since the establishment of
the first socialist power in 1917. And since diverse modes of
socialist movements have continued to co-exist in the world
socialist movement-most of the time-unable to bridge the
differences and severe conflicts. Even socialist countries have had
severe ideological, national and international disputes. After the
collapse of Soviet Union and many other socialist countries in
Eastern Europe, nearly all schools of world socialist movements and
thoughts suffered an unprecedented setback or difficulties and have
paid with high losses. Many socialist parties and left movements
were dissolved and some were unable to resist capitalist arrogance
arising after the "victory" of capitalism won without battle. The
shiny aspect of capitalist development had seemed unmatchable and
ideas about its demise had lost its relevance. Thanks to intrinsic
development of motive forces inherent in socialist reality and its
subjects, things have started to change and signs of recovery,
rectification, re-exploration, reform and revival have soon started
to emerge and even recorded some important achievements in many
parts of the world. Many important schools including (social)
democratic socialism, autonomous socialism-Trotskyism, new-left,
green-left, post-Marxist left, Western and Eastern communism and
critical-Western Marxist thought have scored certain remarkable
achievements.
