中国的区域国别学正处于探索和发力建设阶段,相比之下,美国的区域国别研究较为成熟。本文通过回顾美国区域国别研究的发展历程,结合具体案例,为中国区域国别学发展提供参考;从历史和宏观的角度总结出美国区域国别研究成功的“四位一体”模式;从微观层面具体分析哈佛大学费正清中国研究中心的发展模式、成功经验、面临的困境与挑战;探讨其对中国发展高水平区域国别研究的启发。中国和美国的区域国别研究发展面临着相似的挑战,可以结合国情借鉴经验,推动该领域的创新发展,为中国与世界其他国家相互了解和合作贡献新的知识和智慧。
Chinese regional studies are currently in the exploratory and developmental phase,while the regional studies in the United States is relatively well-established. This paper aims to provide insights for the development of Chinese regional studies by examining the historical trajectory of regional studies in the United States and the specific case of The Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies at Harvard University. The successful “four-in-one” model of regional studies in the United States is synthesized from a historical and macroscopic perspective. Moreover,a micro-level analysis of the development model,successful experiences,challenges and difficulties of the Fairbank Center at Harvard University is conducted,offering inspiration for the advancement of high-level regional studies in China.
China and the United States face similar challenges in the development of regional studies. We can learn from the US’s exert and exerting it upon China’s practice. Through these efforts,Chinese regional studies can contribute fresh perspectives and intellectual contributions to domestic development and the international community. This aligns with China’s vision of actively engaging in the construction of a shared future for humanity,thereby making substantial contributions to global stability and development.
