Evolution of Foreign Modernization Theory and Its Enlightenment
The development of modernization theory has gone through three stages:early modernization theory,classical modernization theory and new modernization theory,presenting a development process from unity to dispersion,from theoretical monopoly to contention of a hundred schools of thought.With the strengthening of the multi-polarization trend of the world pattern,the modernization theory is increasingly showing a diversified development trend,and the modernization research based on the national conditions and historical traditions of developing countries is increasingly rich.A vast number of developing countries are lagging behind in the process of modernization and are in a development environment completely different from the historical experience of Western society.In order to achieve modernization,they must jump out of the blind imitation of Western theories and paths and follow a path that suits their own conditions and has their own characteristics.China has embarked on a uniquely Chinese path of modernization in the course of its long-term exploration and practice.It has not only absorbed the excellent achievements of previous modernization theories,but also formulated and developed modernization theories with Chinese characteristics that suit China's reality,contributing Chinese wisdom to the prosperity of human society.
