What are the international problems facing countries all over the world at present?

1. The overall international security situation tends to ease, and peace and development remain the themes of the times.

First of all, the painful lessons of the two world wars have prompted people of all countries to make up their minds to maintain peace so as to save future generations from the catastrophe of war. Secondly, nuclear weapons are destructive and deterrent enough to destroy the earth many times, so no one wants to die with the earth because of a nuclear war. Third, the rapid development of economic globalization has increased the dependence of all countries in the world, expanded the fields of common interests, and further reduced the possibility of world war.

Second, the factors that threaten world peace and development in the traditional security field still exist and have new manifestations.

First of all, local conflicts and hot issues come and go. In particular, these hot issues occur in sensitive areas of international geopolitics and geo-economy, which directly or indirectly affect the strategic interests of big countries in these areas, complicate the interests of big countries and add hidden dangers and variables to the relations between big countries. Second, national defense spending has increased year by year. This situation means that countries still regard military development as an important factor to safeguard their own security, and the threat of war between countries still exists. Third, the major nuclear powers have further strengthened their strategic strength, and the global proliferation of nuclear weapons is still serious, which brings great hidden dangers to world security.

Third, the threat posed by non-traditional security even exceeds that of war.

The first is international terrorism. Since 20 12, there has been a new rebound in terrorist activities, and the complexity and arduousness of combating terrorism have become more prominent. The frequency of terrorist attacks has increased, and the scope of activities and scale of attacks have expanded; The way of terrorist attacks is hard to prevent; The problem of double standards in the international anti-terrorism struggle makes the international anti-terrorism front tend to break. Secondly, environmental security issues. Global warming has aroused people's great concern about environmental safety. In recent years, global warming has led to frequent climate disasters and even threatened the survival of some small island countries. Third, financial security. The financial crisis not only hit developed countries, but also hit the virtual economy and real economy of emerging market countries and developing countries, causing many social and political problems. Finally, the increasingly serious drug trafficking and smuggling, the spread of serious infectious diseases, unscrupulous piracy and increasingly serious illegal immigration have had a huge negative impact on international security.
