全球化背景下藏学研究的走向和任务

The trend and task of Tibetological studies against the background of globalization

经济一体化和政治、文化多元化是目前世界的总体特点，也是藏学研究的大背景特点。全球化背景和知识经济的到来，使藏学研究产生了近乎本质的变化：其一，以前的藏学研究相对封闭，而现在的藏学研究已逐步走向开放；其二，以前的藏学研究社会意识形态和政治因素突出，而现在的藏学研究在这些方面均有突破；其三，以前的藏学研究手段（尤其是信息处理和传播手段）落后，而现在的藏学研究在研究手段上可以说已经跨入了一个新的时代；其四，以前的藏学研究学科研究领域相对狭小，而现在的藏学研究几乎已涉及了所有的学科。

The economic integration and the pluralistic development of politics and cultures are the general characteristics of today's world as well as the characteristics of the large background against which Tibetological studies were undertaken. The globalization background and the knowledge economy's coming have caused almost essencial changes to Tibetological studies: first, the Tibetological studies before were relatively close while today's Tibetological studies have gradually become open up; second, the Tibetological studies before paid special attention to the social ideological and political factors while today's Tibetological studies have broken the limitations in these aspects; third, the Tibetological studies before were quite backward in means (particually in handling informations and in information media)while today's Tibetological studies have entered a new era in research means; and the fourth, the field of Tibetological studies before was relatively narrow while today's Tibetological studies have dealt with a wide range of nearly all disciplines.
