我国太平洋与太平洋国家史研究:现状、问题与愿景

China’s Current Scholarship on the History of the Pacific Region and Countries

太平洋与太平洋国家史作为世界历史的一个分支在我国正式出现的时间较晚,但与此相关的研究却在20世纪下半叶即已出现。截止到2021年,我国不仅编撰完成了几乎所有太平洋国家的列国志,形成了一支颇具潜力的研究队伍,而且对太平洋贸易和地区一体化开展了较为充分的探讨,移民、华侨和契约劳工等问题的研究也方兴未艾。然而,由于受到起步较晚、偏重现实问题以及现行考评机制等诸多因素制约,该领域还存在诸多问题:相关概念界定在学界尚有分歧,基础研究较为薄弱,成果发表较为困难,研究人员不懂当地语言,研究队伍不成熟、不稳固等等。未来太平洋与太平洋国家史的编撰刻不容缓,自然科学和社会科学合作研究势在必行,在"一带一路"倡议引领下,大国与太平洋地区的关系研究也应更加充分展开。

The history of the pacific region and countries as a branch of world history formed rather late in China.But such studies have already existed in the second half of the 20 thcentury.Up to 2021,China has compiled almost all national chronicles of the Pacific countries,and established a promising?research team.Besides,enormous studies have been carried out on the Pacific trade and regional integration.Other studies like immigration,overseas Chinese and indentured labor are on the rise.However,due to several reasons such as the late beginning of the field,stress too much on the reality,and the current academic evaluation system,a lot of problems still existed.For example:unclear academic terms,weak fundamental research,difficult publication,not enough local language training,immature research team,and so on.Therefore,it is urgent to compile the history of the Pacific region and countries,adopt transdisciplinary approaches,and carry out more studies on major-country relations in the Pacific rim under the guidance of the"the Belt and Road Initiative".
