Study Of Marx And Engels On Globalization And Its Practical Significance

Globalization is a distinctive feature and inevitable trend of the development of contemporary human society.Globalization usually refers to the global development of human life.The exchanges and exchanges between countries in the world in the fields of economy,politics,culture and social life are increasing,and the links are becoming increasingly close.Globalization mainly originated in the late 1970 s and grew rapidly after the end of the cold war.In recent years,the global economy has shown an obvious downward trend.The global outbreak of the COVID-19 in 2020 and the energy crisis caused by tensions in eastern Ukraine have exacerbated the difficult situation of international trade.The trend of anti-globalization,,hegemonism and power politics are rising day by day,which has brought serious challenges to the benign development of globalization.In view of this,the study of globalization and related theories and ideas is becoming increasingly important.On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the research status at home and abroad,the body of the paper expounds the formation background,main content,essential characteristics of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought,as well as its theoretical and practical significance for the development of contemporary China.The specific views are summarized as follows:The first part is the historical conditions of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought.Among them,the social conditions of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought are mainly the global expansion of capitalism.The pursuit of overseas interests by the bourgeoisie and the great development of productive forces under the background of the industrial revolution are the main driving forces to promote the process of globalization in the 19 th century.In terms of ideological origin,Vico,Hegel’s view of human and world history and the relevant contents of economic globalization in British classical political economy are the source of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought.The second part is the main content of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought.The internal causes,main manifestations and characteristics of globalization are discussed in Marxist classics such as the Communist Manifesto,capital and German ideology.Based on their comprehensive combing,the paper infers that the development of globalization has historical inevitability and the deepening of globalization will promote the common liberation of all mankind.The third part,the main characteristics of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought,namely objectivity,class and transcendence.Classical political economy,represented by Adam Smith and David Ricardo,played a theoretical foundation role in the emergence of Marx and Engels’ thought of globalization.But at the same time,due to its class and interest position,various high-precision economic globalization analysis theories in Western liberal political economics have always been in an insurmountable dilemma,while Marx and Engels’ globalization thought has formed the interest perspective and direction of the world proletariat in examining the past globalization process,reflecting its objectivity and scientificity relative to the liberal political economy globalization thought Class and transcendence.The fourth part is the practical significance of Marx and Engels’ globalization thought to the development of contemporary China.The development of globalization has both twists and turns and inevitability.In the process of participating in globalization,countries need to give consideration to the foundation of national economic strength and the group dominance of globalization development.Starting from Marx and Engels’ thought of globalization,China should respond flexibly to the phased anti-globalization phenomenon while complying with the development of globalization,strengthen the strategy of giving priority to economic development under the leadership of the Communist Party of China,actively coordinate the interaction between different fields and globalization,and enhance the strategic determination to participate in the development of globalization.Marx and Engels’ thought of globalization is scattered in his works,but his thought of globalization is profound and unique.Further in-depth research on it is conducive to promoting our research and pursuit of a series of issues such as the "the Belt and Road","community of shared future for mankind",the joint struggle of the world proletariat and the free and comprehensive development of all mankind.
