试论西南军阀地域范围流变(1916—1927)

Evolvement of Regions of Warlords in Southwest China( 1916-1927)

政治区域化是民国政局的一个重要内容,西南军阀即是政治区域化的产物。民初时期,虽有以"西南"为名的团体组织出现,但并非政治军事集团。护国运动时期,"西南"逐渐向政治区域集团演变,与"南方"所指时而等同、时亦各有其义,其地域范围的主体是滇黔粤桂。护法运动时期,"西南"的区域政治集团色彩更加浓厚,其地域范围在六省与五省之间变化。南北和谈之后,"西南"内部政治派系分化加剧,其地域范围的伸缩更加激烈。随着1927年后国民党以党治国体制的初步确立,作为政治区域团体势力的"西南"事实上已不复存在,逐步分解为以省域为势力范围的地方实力派。

Political regionalization is one of the important content of political situation,giving birth to warlords in southwest China. From the early period of Republican China,National Protection Movement and Constitutional Protection Movement,there have been dramatic changes in the regions and territorial scope. In 1927 when the KMT established its system of administering a country by political party,these warlords did not exist in reality and gradually decomposed into the local fractions with the provincial region as its sphere of influence.
