西欧经过战后40多年的和平发展,已经成了当今世界上一支重要力量,越来越以新的面目和姿态出现在世界政治舞台上。近期西欧政治的发展,归纳起来,有三个特点,现分别叙述如下: 一、政治的多色调展现西欧国家政治格局虽不尽相同,有两党制为主的,也有多党制的,但就政党性质言,大体可分为左右两派。
The essay expounds the new characteristics in the development of the West European. political situation through the following three aspects: the obvious multiplication of the colour of the West European politics; the multi-tracked trends of the West European union; and the pursuit of diplomatic goals of multipolarization. The multi-coloured politics in Western Europe is mainly displayed by increasing number of the parties, which are playing important roles in the nations' political life, and the new changes in the political set-up; the obscure inclinations of the left and the right, and the rapid growth of the number of intermediate stratum; and the emergence of complex new compositions in the leading stratum. The multi-tracked union ways, which are characteristic of 'multi-fields', 'multi-levels' and 'multi-speeds', not only lay stress on the unified will and action of the whole West European countries, but also give consideration to the interests and demands of each country in Western Europe, thus becoming more adapted to the developing situations both inside and outside, and being bound to further promote West European union. The basic ideology of the diplomatic policy of the West European countries is to breakthrough Yalta System, and to push forward the world in the direction of multipolarization. By means of union, Western Europe attempts to turn into a real polar in a multipolar world, to get closer to Eastern Europe in order to get rid of US-Soviet intention of dominance in Europe, to become another companion of the Third World countries besides the US and the USSR, and to emphasize on promoting relationship with China. All this will contribute to reinforcing its position global strategic pattern. In making a preliminary analysis of the main background of the emergence of the above-mentioned triple-variety characteristics, the essay holds that the West European countries' sense of insecurity and fear of falling behind the US and Japan in science-technology have urged them to seek new ways of development one after another; the root of this trend, however, lies in the inner changes of the West European society itself.
