近些年来西方学者对当代中国研究之述评

A Review of the Contemporary China Research of Western Scholars

新的时期,面临新的发展机遇和诸多不确定因素的中国受到西方社会的广泛关注,西方学者以此为契机就中国社会发展的方方面面提出不同见解。这些讨论包括了中国政局变动、社会变迁、民主化改革、权力监督制约、思想文化策略,以及中国全球化时代的挑战和应对,等等。多数学者的观点立场相对中立、客观,但亦有独特的西方视角和文化解读,凡此种种将能为中国政府和中国学界提供借鉴。

China, which is facing the new opportunities of development and many uncertain fac- tors in the new era, has attracted the attention of Western society. The western scholars put for- ward different views of China in all aspects of social development. These discussions include chan- ges in Chinese society and political situation, democratic reform, the power supervision, ideolog- ical and cultural strategy, and China＇s challenge and response in the era of globalization, etc. The views of the majority of Western scholars are relatively neutral and objective and these views are the interpretation from Western perspective and unique culture, which provides the reference for the Chinese government and Chinese scholars.
