Publisher Description: The book in your hands, the fourth part of the "International Relations Volumes" series probes into the analysis of the relations between North and South since the formation of this division. The North-South relationship as one product of North-South division is not only the product of contemporary world society, but also a product of relatively gradual historical course closely related with European colonial expansion. Part I of the book mainly includes an overall and theoretical description of the process of colonial expansion before the WWII and the development of the North-South relationship. It points out that since the 15th and 16th century with the development of capitalism in Western Europe and the great geographical discovery, colonial expansion has become an important instrument of primitive accumulation of capital by numerous colonial countries of the North, while coercing these countries and regions into an asymmetrical world political and economic system. Part II of the book discusses systematically the development of the North-South relationship after the WW II by tracing the postwar development of international relations. After a relatively clear exposition on some major events and key points in the development process of the North-South relationship, it points out the postwar North-South relationship has undergone a process of dialogue, confrontation, and co-operation and the South-South co-operation after the war plays an increasingly important role in contemporary international relations. |
