Abstract

With the continuous advancement of modernization，the increased disadvantage of backwardness in the developing countries has made it more difficult for them to catch up with the industrialization. While promoting the spread of technology，globalization also leads to the country’s economic development in dependency. The collapse of traditional society causes the failure of strategy of economy surpassing.Extreme individualism and consumerism promote the human values into the affluent society，at the same time，it brings the global energy，ecological and social crisis，so that the traditional model modernization is not sustainable. We should break through traditional mode of industrialization，the traditional strategy of catching up and surpassing the economy，the traditional path of modernization models，and actively conduct cultural innovation，strategic innovation. We should establish modernization on the people-oriented basis and realize the harmonious development between man and nature，man and society，material and spiritual civilization through the appropriate technological advances and appropriately market regulation.On the basis of the new modernization，through the use of new industrialization model and new-type industrialization strategy can we achieve modernization of catching up.

First of all，the book gives a comprehensive analysis of the disadvantage of backwardness，pointing out its dominant position in the national development. The advancement of modernization causes the disadvantage to increase，which becomes the main obstacle of economic surpassing. Because of objective，dynamic，relative，incremental and other characteristics，we must also be continuously adjusted to the environmental changes，overcoming the increasing disadvantage of backwardness and realizing the modernization of catching up.

Second，the book gives an empirical analysis of the traditional economic strategy of catching up and surpassing，pointing out that because of the modern，dynamic and periodic features，it’s difficult for the strategy to adapt to today’s needs and we must reasonably adjust development strategies according to the changes of time to meet after the country’s national conditions. To today’s developing countries，the breakthrough of the current global popularity of neo-liberalism and the East Asian model of restraint can overcome the double predicament of the dependence of economic development and the government failure to achieve industrialization of catching up.

Third，the book gives a careful analysis of the impact globalization，the world’s energy，ecological and social crisis have on the country and its development strategy，pointing out that globalization can not only promote the spread of technology，but also will lead to the country’s economy after the long-term dependency so that the long-term development gap between is cure，and globalization also lets the country lose independence of economic development，leading to the widening gap between rich and the poor global economy and the serious imbalance in the world，so that the global economic crisis approaches and threatens the continuing civilization. Only through breaking up the shackles of the new liberalism development strategy，through limiting industrial policy to constantly optimize the industrial structure，through reforming the distribution system to expand domestic demand can the developing countries to shake off the economic dependence of development. We should establish a global economic coordination mechanism as soon as possible and accelerate the global political integration of the pace of development in order to prevent the global economic crisis from breaking out frequently.The world’s ecological and energy crisis are deteriorating the environment for the development of the country，also make the modern Western model unsustainable. Only by changing the traditional model of modernization，breaking the shackles of neo-liberal strategy will it be possiblefor the countries to achieve modernization and maintain the sustained development of civilization on the basis of new modernization. Now the countries of backwardness rely shallowly on the traditional modernization，so they totally have the opportunity to take the lead in realizing modernization in transition.

Finally，as the largest developing country，China is deeply damaged by the inferior status and impacted by the economic globalization，the global energy and ecological crisis. It is also harmed by imitating the strategy against dogmatism，which makes the traditional mode of industrialization，East Asian catching up and surpassing economy strategy，Western model of modernization become unsustainable and lead to serious development crisis. We must reasonably abandon Eastern-Western civilizations and actively conduct cultural innovation in order to establish a new goal of modernization. We also must establish industrialization on the basis of a people-centred objective，and through the new industrialization strategy and constantly improving people’s welfare，building up the harmony between human and nature，human and society，promote the comprehensive development of people，and achieve the ultimate realization of modernization in transition.
