NEW CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS OF SOCIALISM IN THE CONTEXT OF PROFOUND GLOBAL TRANSFORMATIONS

Abstract

This article analyzes the new characteristics and trends of socialism in the context of global transformations. Modern socialism is no longer confined to a single model but demonstrates flexibility and adaptability through diverse development models that combine market economies with a socialist orientation. China, Vietnam, Cuba, and Laos each have their own paths, yet they all affirm the core values of equity, sustainability, and humanism. Furthermore, socialist countries are actively integrating into the international community, applying science and technology, and focusing on human development, thereby demonstrating their ability to help address global challenges.
