Comparative Political Studies in Contemporary China:Defects and Possible Breakthroughs

文章认为,比较政治学作为政治科学的核心和基础学科,一直是以美国为代表的西方政治学研究的重点领域,但恰恰在这个为政治学的学科建设和理论发展做出了巨大贡献的研究领域,中国政治学界的发展仍然很缓慢。在梳理了美国比较政治学的简要变迁历程之后,文章指出了中国目前比较政治学在研究方法、文献掌握和学科发展的制度环境中所遇到的制约因素,并提出了突破的途径和方法。

As one of the foundation stones and the core research areas of political science, comparative politics contributes abundant social theories, research methods, observation issues and even policy concerns to modern social science. However, this vital discipline is precisely the weakness of political science in contemporary China, which urgently needs it to provide comparative political development experiences, theories and competitive strategies. This article explores the defects of comparative political studies from research methods and technolo- gies, literature collection and learning, and also some institutional restraints in China. The article then provides some possible approaches for achieving breakthroughs.
