中国近30年来甲午战争研究综述

A Review of the Studies on the Sino-Japanese War in the Last 30 Years

对于甲午战争本身及相关问题的研究一直是学界关注的焦点,近30年来,中国的甲午战争研究视野不断拓宽,研究逐渐深入,在不同时期形成了数个研究较为集中的领域,无论从研究方法、研究视野,还是从史料发掘,观点创新,都涌现出一大批有价值的研究成果;今天的甲午战争研究不仅仅限于中国近代史研究抑或中日关系史研究,已延伸、扩展到地区史乃至世界史研究领域:一方面,在传统上以中日关系史为切入点的研究基础上又增加、涵盖了近代东北亚国家政治、经济、军事、社会、文化等诸多层面,从而使甲午战争研究多维化;另一方面,研究理论与方法呈多样化,除使用传统实证史学、比较史学的方法外,还多运用现代化理论、国际关系学、地缘政治学等相关专业的理论方法进行了交叉研究。

The Sino-Japanese War is a turning point in the modernization process of China and other Northeast Asian countries. Therefore, the study of the Sino-Japanese war has been a focus of academic attention. In recent 30 years, scholars in this field have been widening their visions and the studies become more and more intensive. Especially in recent 10 years, a large number of valuable researches have emerged. In brief, nowadays the research of the Sino-Japanese war is no longer limited into the modern history of China or of Sino-Japanese relations.
