当代世界问题教学,乃中学历史教学一大薄弱环节,为帮助中学师生从全球角度认识历史与现实,更全面地看待当代世界,应本刊编辑部特别邀请,本刊专家指导委员会委员、知名史学家、北京师范大学黄安年教授撰写了《当代世界六十年(1945～2005)》系列专题文章,并从2006年起由本刊连载。愿我们的这一策划借助黄先生的笔触,能够对中学的当代世界史教学多所裨益。 In order to help middle school teachers and students understand history and reality from a global perspective and view the contemporary world more comprehensively, the editorial department of this magazine specially invited members of the magazine’s expert steering committee, Historian, Professor Huang An-nian of Beijing Normal University wrote a series of monographs on “The Sixty Years of the Contemporary World (1945 ~ 2005)” and has been serialized by this journal since 2006.
