发展是二战以来全球各国之间综合国力竞争、抗衡中所必须紧紧围绕的中心问题。尽管冷战期间裁军的争讨鼓噪如蝉,但大国军备的发展却一直渗透于经济发展的主调之中,于是在冷战的阴霾笼罩下,与人民的生活质量、水平密切相关的经济发展常常成为一台配戏。发展不仅在理论上而且在实践中一直是各国高度重视的严峻问题,这突出地反映在发展理论与发展战略日臻全面而系统,发展中国家的发展与发达国家的发展分头推进,特别是随着两极对峙态势的打破,发展话题急剧升温。今年3月联合国社会发展问题世界首脑会议顺应这种“抓住机遇,发展自己”的大潮,进一步将发展作为一项紧迫的任务提到世人面前。那么究竟什么是发展呢?笔者队为发展就是一个人类坚韧不拔地克服所面临的困境而满怀希望地步入理想坦途的过程。 Development is the central issue that must be closely followed in the overall national strength competition among all countries in the world since World War II. Despite the cessation of disarmament debate during the Cold War, the development of the armament of the great powers has always permeated the main tone of economic development. Under the shadow of the Cold War, therefore, the economic development closely related to people’s quality of life and level often becomes A game. The development has not only been a serious problem both in theory and in practice, but has been prominently reflected in the increasingly comprehensive and systematic development of the theory and strategy of development. The development of developing countries and the development of developed countries are promoted separately, especially with The break-up of the bipolar posture and the rapid development of the development topic. In March this year, the United Nations World Summit on Social Development complied with this tide of “seizing opportunities and developing itself” to further promote development as a pressing task before the world. So what exactly is development? The author team for the development is a human being indomitable to overcome the difficulties faced and hopefully into the ideal smooth process.
