On The Economic Globalization And China's Historic Choice

From 1980's, economic globalization has achieved an important breakthrough. The prosperous development of Capitalism and the severe setback of Socialist movement put forward such questions as: Whether socialism will definitely replace capitalism? In which way could China stick by the socialism route? The thinking and analysis on these questions become the background of the dissertation. The significant reforms of the world and the great achievements that the Socialism with Chinese characteristics has achieved demand the rethinking of many accepted argument on socialist theory and the careful reconsidering of the vitality of socialism in the real world. Hence, the judgment on the trend of the economic globalization and the exploration of practicing non-capitalism in ecoculturally underdeveloped countries are of theoretical and practical importance. It initiates the whole paper.The modern theory of globalization among the western world originates from the developed capitalist countries. Though the globalization they discussed is the same as Marx's world history which refers to the vertical development occurred after the horizontal world wide communication. However, western theory of globalization aimed at defending the capitalism. It failed to identify the world wide damage caused by the capitalist mode of production. Marx's world history theory lays stress on real people and regards the production activity and communication activity of human being as the motivation and foundation in forming the world history. It also views the human's over-all development as the ultimate goal of the world history development. Marx deeply criticizes the capitalist economic system in his political economy and so to turn the socialism from fantasy into science. This dissertation argues that globalization is an objective historical process of human development that will surpass the space, social system and cultural barriers. It leads to over-all communication and interaction in world-wide range, and finally achieves harmony. Its nature is the contradictory movement between the productive forces and productive relations, which has a trend of communism. The above-mentioned is the theoretical premise of the dissertation.Together with the emerging of the capitalist mode of production, led and pushed by capitalism, globalization has firstly formed and developed in its economic facet. The dissertation argues that the economic globalization is a basic facet of globalization, which refers to the globalization on continuous economic activities and to the globalization on certain productive relations. It comes from the contradictory movement between the productive forces and productive relations. It enables the development of communism on the basis of the extensive development of both productive forces and the related world wide communication. Following Marx's research methodology used in studying social development, this dissertation puts perspective on economic globalization. It focuses on the analysis of productive forces and its development. In other words, the focus does not rest on the settlement of production factors or the adjustment of productive structure, but lies on the analysis of international economic relations and international productive relations that are presented during economic globalization. Therefore to explore, from the contradictory movement of the above-mentioned two terms, the nature and trend of economic globalization. This is where the innovation lies and is also the purpose of this study.The development of capitalism demonstrates that capitalism has not only brought to human being evangelist, but also the historical limitations. This dissertation argues the issues of economic globalization and the historical choice contemporarily made by China. It develops from rationale to historical analysis, and on to realistic analysis, and to an analysis of destiny of capitalism, futhur to the prospect of socialist future, and finally ends at development study. Concerning the study of economic globalization, the paper highlights the predetermined world-wide interaction, which is the result of the development of productive forces during human development. It tries to expose the fact that learning and replication between cultures accelerated the development of human history, which indicates the inevitability of the sublation of the capitalism in its own historic process. Through the analyses of the critiques made by people in different times from various angle and the constant struggles, it reveals human-being's longing and practicing of ideal society in the future. On this basis, following Marx's theory of human history's possible salutatory development, the paper combines socialism practice and movement with phenomenon and trend of economic globalization in its study. The above-mentioned is the logic structure and the content of this dissertation.Guided by Marx's world history theory, taking Marx's political economic analysis as instrument, based on the development under two societies, the dissertation systematically argues globalization and economic globalization, and concludes that Socialism is a historical choice of China. Socialism with Chinese characteristics conforms to the trend of times, taking the responsibilities not only to regain the prosperity of China, but also to present socialist ambition to the world, to display socialism significance in one's all-round development and self-fulfillment. Critically arguing the nature and trend of economic globalization from Marxist perspective, we aim at consolidating communist ideal, in order to better contribute to the construction of the Socialism with Chinese characteristics. Contemporarily, worldwide economic globalization appears to be complicated and constantly changing, which makes it a theoretically and practically significant project to be studied. Furthurmore, together with the development of economic globalization, the globalization on the facets emerges gradually. Therefore, socialist movement and China are facing opportunities as well as challenges, which deserve futhur research in the future.
