Abstract: World politics research aims to explain the basic nature and institutional changes of international relations and domestic politics. The current international order is tending towards being equal, while hegemonism and power politics are becoming increasingly unpopular. The reasons are presented as follows. From the perspective of world politics research, first, technological revolution, the struggle for recognition, and the promotion of industrial transfer are the fundamental driving forces for the evolution of the international order. Second, the changes in the power structure among countries and the rise and fall of trends of political thought are the direct driving forces for the evolution of the international order. And third, international political struggle is the basic mechanism that shapes the rise and fall of trends of political thought, which are transformed into international order and norms; it specifically includes three basic modes of interaction: advocacy by the leading country, learning and socialization, and political compromise.

Key words: world politics research, evolution of the international order, trends of political thought, equal international order
