西方近代边疆理论的初步发展

The Primary Development of Modern Borderland Theory in the West

文章认为,在资本主义的产生、发展时期,民族国家的出现是近代边疆理论形成的重要前提,重商主义与殖民扩张则是近代边疆理论形成的内在动力。这一时期,传统边疆向近代边疆的转变、国际法的初现也对近代边疆理论的发展产生了重要影响。

This paper thinks that the important premise for the formation of modern borderland theory is the appearance of nation-state. The mercantile system and the colonialism expansion are the impulsion of modern borderland theory during the period of the springing-up and development of capitalism. At the same time, the transformation from the traditional borderland to modern borderland and the coming-forth of international law greatly affected the modern borderland theory.
