在这世纪之交,由于国际关系格局发生了根本变化,往日大规模军备竞赛已转向以经济和科技为重点的提高综合国力的竞争。国家安全的概念已从狭义的军事安全范畴扩大到经济安全,提高国家在世界经济市场的竞争力已成为国家发展的核心。 可以预见,到21世纪,或者说在相当一段历史时期,世界的主战场将不是昔日的军事冷战,而是综合国力的较量,经济市场的争夺。 At the turn of the century, as a result of fundamental changes in the pattern of international relations, the large-scale arms race in the past has turned to the competition for increasing overall national strength with emphasis on economy and science and technology. The concept of national security has expanded from a narrow sense of military security to economic security. Improving the country’s competitiveness in the world economic market has become the core of national development. It is foreseeable that by the 21st century, or in a considerable period of history, the main battlefield of the world will not be the former military cold war, but a contest of overall national strength and competition in the economic market.
