建构跨学科的中国环境与资源社会学

Toward a Transdisciplinary Environmental and Resource Sociology in China

环境社会学与自然资源社会学是关于社会与自然界相互关系的两个主要研究传统。目前关于这两个分支学科的讨论主要是局限在美国学术界内,而其对于其它国家环境和社会研究学科建设的借鉴作用尚未引起足够的重视,这正是本文在中国的学术背景中提出环境社会学与自然资源社会学相互融合问题的原因所在。环境社会学在中国正处于重要的学科建设阶段,垮学科的中国环境与资源社会学在投身中国"资源节约型、环境友好型"社会的建设中完全有希望实现环境社会学与自然资源社会学的实质融合。

Environmental sociology and the sociology of natural resources constitute two research traditions regarding the interactions between societies and the natural world.While discussion of the relationships between these two fields is largely restricted to the United States,their implications for developing disciplines focused on environment and society issues in other countries have seldom been addressed.In this article we introduce the dialogue between environmental sociology and the sociology of natural resources into the context of China,where environmental sociology is being established as an important academic subdiscipline.We suggest that with a transdisciplinary orientation,environmental sociology in China holds promise for integrating environmental and natural resource sociologies in responding to China’s strategic goal of building a＂resource-efficient and environment-friendly＂society.
