日本的香港研究综述

A Review of the Field of Hong Kong Study in Japan

日本的香港研究历史悠久,近年来发展迅速。与中国内地、香港特区自身以及英美等西方国家的香港研究相比,日本的香港研究自有其特色。为便于学界对此有更多的了解,就研究主题与发表时序,逐一介绍近年日本对港研究的著作。由于日本香港研究触及香港社会的诸多议题,题材相对丰富,所以更适合就政治发展、社会经济、法律法规、文化艺术等视角逐一进行考察及综述。与此同时,也不可讳言,日本的香港研究存在种种不足,包括其对于内地与香港关系的偏见、研究取材的狭隘以及研究方法的滞后等等。从这个角度看,日本香港研究的成果值得国内学界关注,其局限也需要我们引以为戒。

Hong Kong study has a long history in Japan,and it developed rapidly in recent years.Compared with the Hong Kong study in Chinese mainland,Hong Kong and western countries,Japan’s Hong Kong study has its unique characteristics.In this paper,we analyze Japan’s Hong Kong study following the time sequence and by the research fields.Considering the wide range of topics covered by Japanese scholars,we find it more reasonable to comb through their works from such perspectives as political development,social and economic development,laws and regulations,culture and arts.At the same time,we must admit that Japan’s Hong Kong study has its own weaknesses,including the biased position towards mainland-Hong Kong relations,parochialism in the selection of research materials,and the deficiencies in research methods.With this in minds,we can then refer to some of the research findings,but keep alert of their research limitations.
