Marx and Globalization ZHANG Yu 2002, (1):  30-37.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (1281KB) ( )   According to Marx and Engels the real task of the bourgeois society is to establish a world market and a production mode based on that market. This tendency is explicitly embedded in their concept of capital. However, globalization based on capitalist production mode does not result in sheer mutual benefits, as was predicted by bourgeois scholars. Instead, it gives rise to a structure composed of a central part and subordinated parts, which means cruel colonialist exploitation in the early stage, followed by an inherent worldwide inequity caused by transfer of the surplus brought about by monopoly of technology. As for the working class, it does not make a difference in the end whether protectionism or free trade is at work. The article maintains that in the light of preparations for material foundations, capitalist globalization actually paves the way for the communist society, a society marked by full development of individuals. Therefore, the author concludes, capitalism somehow unconsciously plays a positive role in the progress of history. Related Articles | Metrics

Federalism and European Integration Fang Le-xian 2002, (1):  64-69.  DOI: Abstract ( )   PDF (845KB) ( )   Federalism is a political integration theory which originates from very old sources of ideas.

It strongly tries to push the political unity of Europe into the direction of European Federation or the ‘United States of Europe’. Its ideas have been attempted in European integration process, and few substansive advancements have been achieved. However, it still has had an important influence on the European integration.
