如果以苏联解体作为决定性志,那么1992年应是两极体制崩溃、东西方冷战结束后的第一个年头。这一年的国际形势发展,已有许多论述,归纳起来,似乎有以下几点:苏联解体引起的震荡十分剧烈,后果难以估量:多极化趋势加快,维护世界和平的可能性增大。但世界并不太平,从巴尔干到南高加索功荡不安,战火不熄:美国地位相对削弱,西方联盟内部矛盾突出:南北差距扩大,矛盾加剧,地区热点增多;东亚相对稳定,经济一枝独秀,我 If the Soviet Union was to be decisive, then 1992 should be the collapse of the bipolar system and the first year after the East-West Cold War. The development of the international situation this year has been discussed in many ways. To sum up, it seems that the following points: The turmoil caused by the Soviet Union’s dissolution is extremely violent and the consequences are hard to measure: the trend of multipolarization is accelerating and the possibility of safeguarding world peace is increasing. However, the world is not too peaceful. From the Balkans to the South Caucasus, the war is fiercer than ever: the position of the United States is weakened and the internal conflicts in the Western Union are prominent. The disparity between the North and the South has widened, conflicts intensified, and hot spots in the region have increased. East Asia has been relatively stable and its economy has been thriving.
