论新技术革命与冷战两极格局的结束

发生于 70年代中期的新技术革命带来了科学技术的重大突破 ,高科技成为发展经济和增强综合国力的有力武器 ,促使世界科技经济出现多极化趋势。而美国在新技术革命中加快发展高新技术 ,增强了综合国力和经济实力 ;苏联则由于僵化的计划经济体制不能适应新技术革命的发展 ,造成科技和经济的落后 ,在以科技为先导的综合国力的竞争中被摧垮。苏联在内外因素合力作用下的解体 ,最终导致了冷战两极格局的结束。

New Technology Revolution and the End of the Two-pole Structure in the Cold War

The new technology revolution originated in the middle 1970s has brought about important breakthrough in science and technology. High-tech has become a mighty force for developing the economy and enhancin g the comprehensive national strength, which has prompted the multi-polarizatio n of the world technology economy. The United States quickened its steps in developing its new technology in the new technological revolution, hence increasing the comprehensive national strength, while the former Soviet Union lagged far behind and was beaten in the competition led by science and technology because its fossilized planning economic system could not adjust to the new technology revolution. The dissolution of the Soviet Union generated comprehensively by both the internal and external factors has eventually led to the end of the Cold War.
