中国应怎样认识拉美--国内相关研究动态与镜鉴意义

How Should China Understand Latin America?--——Dynamics of Relevant Research in China and Its Significance

19世纪末,拉美地区主要国家开始卷入现代化浪潮。在经历剧烈的政治变革后,拉美地区政局基本稳定,但传统政党的衰落、政府官员的腐败以及民主"疲劳"严重制约政治民主化进程;快速人口城市化及其伴随的城市人口膨胀和严重的贫富分化,导致拉美国家经济社会转型面临巨大危机;资源依附性的功利主义经济发展理念造成自然资源的过度开发,可持续发展受阻。当前,中拉关系进入重要的调整时期,研究拉丁美洲对于建设中国特色的政治制度、发展新型城镇化、防止贫富差距和走可持续生态文明之路具有重大借鉴价值。

At the end of the 19th century, the main countries of Latin America became involved in the tide of modernization. After dramatic political changes, political situation in the Latin American region has basically stabilized, but the decline of traditional political parties, corruption of government officials and democratic ＂fatigue＂ seriously restricted the process of political democratization; rapid urbanization and its associated city population expansion and the great disparity between the rich and poor have caused a huge crisis to the economic and social transformation of Latin American countries; the utilitarian resource-dependent mode of economic development has led to overexploitation of natural resources and unsustainable development. At present, Sino- Latin American relations have entered into an important period of adjustment. Research on Latin America can provide an important reference in developing the political system with Chinese characteristics, implementing new type of urbanization, preventing wealth disparity and adhering to a sustainable ecological development road.
