A historic change, the coming of the era of globalization, has happened in the contemporary world. Globalization, as a historical situation and process, brings us not only a new experience but also a deep thinking which has begun in the Marxist times. Taking the historical coherence as a clue, this thesis reveals the inner logical structure of the theory of world history, and transfers to analysis of the concrete problems of global society from the development of the theory of world history.The thesis has five parts as follows:Introductory remarks: the theory of world history of Marx mainly has two contributions to the present globalization problems: a whole and wide field of vision, and a study method based on contradiction analysis, benefit analysis and class analysis. Thus we can reveal the fact that the theory of world history of Marx and the globalization movement in the whole world are mutually intermediaries, realize the reflection on the globalization social development from the angle of world history, and advance the theory of basic contradiction of global social development. Chapter One: the Shift of Vision Field of World History. The Marxism thoughts about the world history and social development center on three parts: non-monopoly capitalism theory of Marx, monopoly capitalism theory of Lenin, and developing country struggle theory of Mao Zedong, which commonly give explanations to the initial understanding of the Marxist globalization. By accumulating history material, holding keenly to the world culture and analyzing the capital movement, Marx stepped into the nature from phenomena, and the essence of world history also became clear----the production mode of capitalism broke away from its European origin and began its globalization process. What is more important is that the globalization process of capitalism is an imbalance full of contradictions, in which contradictions of social development emerge. Lenin carried on and developed Marx's viewpoints on world history, and the characters and contributions of his were noted for the method of class analysis applied on international relations. In Marx's era, class status was determined among the people within a national country; in the globalization era, the international economic order also has class character, according to Lenin, which was constituted by countries and districts not by the people. Thus the contradictions of globalization development are revealed. During the Cold War period, the globalization thoughts being in the bud was ignored by theoretical obstructions and ideology prejudice. However, Mao Zedong's theory on the Chinese revolution, the world revolution and three-world divisions, can be looked upon as a new discovery and development in that period, therefore it has became an important component of the Marxism globalization thoughts.Chapter Two: the Development of Vision Field of World History. This part describes the thoughts of the contemporary capital globalization and development of the contemporary thinkers' analysis on global social contradictions. The Future School and the Rome Club, mainly in view of the developed countries, concern the global situation "after development"; the modernization theory, the theory of dependency and world system, concerning the contradictions in the developing countries, discuss the globalization consequence in future development. Fukayama and S.P.Huntington go beyond the limit of objectivity, and interpret their contradiction analysis on global development in a subjective angle--optimism and pessimism. In the optimistic stand of the end of history, Fukayama's analysis to the contemporary social contradictions and the trouble it gets into should be paid attention to. Huntington advances that the subject of social conflicts is civilization, which widens the vision field of global social development, at the same time, however, which is lost in another abstract limitationï¼›therefore the perspective to phantasm of global social development becomes our task for disc...
