中国境外经贸合作区的文化适应性研究——以中埃·泰达苏伊士经贸合作区为例

THE CULTURAL ADAPTABILITY OF CHINA’S OVERSEAS ECONOMIC AND TRADE COOPERATION ZONES:A CASE OF THE CHINA-EGYPT TEDA SUEZ ECONOMIC AND TRADE COOPERATION ZONE

不同国家在政治体制、经济发展水平、社会文化习俗等方面存在巨大差异,使得中国境外经贸合作区嵌入东道国时产生了制度和文化方面的冲突,出现“水土不服”的窘境,因此境外经贸合作区如何克服文化差异以更好地融入东道国成为研究的科学问题。本文以中埃·泰达苏伊士经贸合作区为例,基于文化尊重、融合和创新等原则,从物质文化、行为文化、制度文化和精神文化四方面探讨合作区的文化适应性。研究发现:(1)合作区的文化适应性不能一概而论,需要先识别文化类型,再明确各类文化的属性与特征,最后选择恰当的文化适应路径。合作区在物质文化、行为文化、制度文化和精神文化方面的有效适应,可以凝聚成推动其嵌入东道国“土壤”的文化合力,为合作区可持续、高质量发展提供动力。(2)中埃·泰达苏伊士经贸合作区遵循求同尊异、创新融合的理念,在文化适应性方面取得良好的效果,但也存在属地化管理困难、制度文化有待优化等问题。

There are significant differences in political system, economic development level, social and cultural customs in different countries, which have caused institutional and cultural conflicts as well as the inadaptation in the development of China’s overseas economic and trade cooperation zones. Therefore, how to overcome cultural differences to better integrate into host countries has become a scientific question. Based on the principles of cultural respect, integration, and innovation, the paper takes the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone as an example, and explores the cultural adaptability of cooperation zone from four aspects, namely, material culture, behavioral culture, institutional culture, and spiritual culture. The research findings are as follows: (1) The cultural adaptability of cooperation zone cannot be unified.(2) China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone follows the concepts of seeking common ground and respecting differences, innovation and integration.
