Review and Reflection on China's Modern History of Comprador

近几十年来,学界掀起了对买办史研究的热潮,并取得了丰硕成果。就近代中国买办史的研究而言,大体可以分为整体性研究和个案性研究两大方面。其中整体性研究主要是从经济、政治、文化三大视角入手来研究近代买办的有关状况。个案性研究主要以盛宣怀为核心进行研究,并涉及到其他买办人物。总体看来,近几十年来中国近代买办史研究涉及领域广,分析也比较客观公正,成绩突出,但同时也存在着诸如研究角度有待创新、空间分布不均衡、缺乏整体性和联系性等问题。只有在这几方面都有改观的前提下,对近代中国买办史的研究才会达到一个更高的境地。
