西欧帝国主义的最主要特点是它的多样性。本世纪初,列宁在《帝国主义是资本主义最高阶段》一书中叙述了各国帝国主义的特点。自那时以来发生了巨大变化,在西欧主要国家中形成了国家垄断资本主义。在国家垄断资本主义形成过程中,各国的垄断结构发生了某种同一化,但是直到现在它们之间仍保留着巨大差别。 The most important feature of Western European imperialism is its diversity. At the beginning of this century, Lenin described the characteristics of imperialism in various countries in his book, “Imperialism is the Highest Stage of Capitalism.” Great changes have taken place since then, creating state monopoly capitalism among the major Western European countries. In the process of the formation of state monopoly capitalism, there has been some homogenization of the monopoly structures in various countries, but so far huge differences have remained between them.
