问答题 案例分析题

材料一:西方史学界在20世纪70—80年代掀起了打破“西欧中心论”的世界历史编纂潮流,使世界历史的编纂学在总体上进入了全球文明史。“全球史观”的基本特征是:将人类社会的历史作为一个整体来看待……“各个相互影响的活动范围在这个发展进程中愈来愈扩大,各民族的原始闭关自守状态则由于日益完善的生产方式、交往以及因此自发地发展起来的各民族之间的分工而消灭得愈来愈彻底,历史也就在愈来愈大的程度上成为全世界的历史。”

材料二:20世纪80年以来,我国有些学者提出“现代化史观”。主张“从宏观历史学的角度,把现代化作为一个全球性大转变的过程,从传统农业社会向现代化工业社会转变的大过程,进行整体性研究,涉及到政治、经济、思想文化等方面。”

材料三:法里德·扎卡里亚是美国《新闻周刊》国际版编辑,他的新作《后美国时代》更是引发了全美各地的热烈讨论。阅读该引文:近500年来发生过三次结构性的权力转变,……第一次是西方世界(欧洲)的崛起,此转变始于15世纪,在19世纪急剧加速;第二次转变发生在19世纪末美国的崛起……上个世纪的全球经济、科技、文化和理念,大半时间由美国主导;我们目前正在经历的则是现代史上的第三次权力转变,或可称为“群雄竞起”的时代。

材料四:截至2009年2月20日,美国已经有14家银行倒闭,整个美国经济受到重创,信贷紧缩,股市动荡,企业破产,经济衰退,美国进入30年代大萧条以来最严重的一次经济低迷期。此外,看不到尽头的伊拉克战争,不断攀升的失业人数,还有持续不断的恐怖威胁等还萦绕在人们心头。

依据材料和所学知识,分别回答西欧崛起和美国能主导世界的主要因素。
