经济全球化使南北关系较以前更为突出。二战以来，产生了西方现代化理论与结构主义发展理论、激进的“不发达政治经济学”、世界体系理论等关于南北关系等诸多论说。在经济全球化背景下，国际投资领域、国际贸易领域、全球性生产体系、国际劳动力市场发生了一系列变化，这些变化影响着发展中的南北关系。经济全球化背景下的南北关系中竞争不是唯一的层面，而且关于南北关系格局结构主义的分析范式面临着解构。 Economic globalization has made the North-South relations more prominent than before. Since World War II, there have been many theories on the relationship between South and North China, such as the theory of the development of the western modernization and structuralism, the radical “undeveloped political economy” and the theory of the world system. Under the background of economic globalization, a series of changes have taken place in the fields of international investment, international trade, global production and the international labor market. These changes have an impact on the developing North-South relations. The competition in the North-South relations under the background of economic globalization is not the only one, and the analytical paradigm of structuralist relations between the North and the South is facing deconstruction.
