依附理论及其对中国高等教育研究的影响

Dependency Theory and its Influence on Chinese Higher Education Research

依附理论是20世纪50年代兴起的诠释拉丁美洲国家不发达原因的理论总称。随着"依附"外延的扩大,依附理论被引入到中国高等教育研究并产生了积极的影响,如增强了对文化殖民的警觉意识、扩大了研究对象和范围等。但它也产生了消极的影响,如将依附理论简单套用、将少数研究依附问题泛化、将借鉴等同于依附、将中国高等教育研究误认为是依附发展等。因而审视依附理论的发展,厘清依附理论在我国高等教育研究中的应用及其产生的影响具有重要的理论意义和现实意义。

Dependency Theory,developed in the late 1950s,is a kind of general theory annotating the underdeveloped state of Latin American countries.Under the economic globalization,Dependency Theory is again becoming an important study perspective that is applied in higher education research.So it is of theoretical and practical significance to review the development of Dependency Theory,investigate the good points and defects of this theory and make clear its influences on Chinese higher education research.
