中央党校校务委员、科研部主任李忠杰撰文指出:进入新世纪,国际形势迭宕起伏,复杂多变。但当今时代的主题——和平与发展没有改变。所谓和平与发展是时代的主题,包含着两方面的涵义,它既是世界发展的基本趋势,同时又是有待解决的两大课题。这两者只有结合起来,互相补充,全面理解,才能完整地表达时代主题的涵义。 Li Zhongjie, the school party committee member and director of the Research Department of the Central Party School, wrote that: Entering the new century, the international situation has been overwhelming and complicated. However, the theme of the current era - peace and development has not changed. The so-called peace and development is the theme of the era and contains two aspects. It is not only the basic trend of world development, but also the two major issues to be solved. Only by combining them, complementing each other and understanding each other can we fully express the meaning of the theme of the times.
